Flight School Near Atlanta — Falcon Field (KFFC)

Academy of Aviation's Atlanta-area campus is based at Atlanta Regional Airport – Falcon Field (KFFC) in Peachtree City, Georgia, approximately 30 miles south of downtown Atlanta.

The campus serves students throughout the south metro, Fayette County, and the greater Atlanta area looking for a structured FAA Part 141 career pilot program.

Peachtree City is one of the most active general aviation communities in the Southeast, with a flying culture that runs deep in the local population.

Pilot Training Inside Atlanta's Airspace

Falcon Field sits within the Atlanta approach environment, giving students direct exposure to Hartsfield-Jackson's Class B airspace — the busiest airport in the world by operations. Cross-country and instrument training from KFFC puts student pilots inside real-world ATC complexity from early in the program, building the situational awareness and radio discipline that airline hiring departments look for.

Georgia's mild climate and year-round flying weather support a consistent training schedule with fewer weather cancellations than northern markets — more flyable days means a faster path to certification.

FAA Part 141 Career Pilot Program

The Atlanta campus offers a full FAA Part 141 career pilot program. The structured curriculum covers every rating on the airline pathway: Private Pilot Certificate, Instrument Rating, Commercial Pilot Certificate, and Certified Flight Instructor ratings including CFI, CFII, and MEI.

Multi-Engine Training Hub

The Atlanta campus is AOA's dedicated multi-engine training center. Students from across the AOA network come to Peachtree City for the 100-Hour Multi-Engine Program — a focused track that front-loads valuable multi-engine flight time to give graduates a measurable edge in airline hiring. Multi-engine experience is one of the most heavily weighted factors in airline candidate evaluation, and completing it early in your career sets you apart from other applicants.

Airline Partnerships — Delta Propel and Republic Airways RJet

Atlanta is Delta Air Lines' global headquarters. Training at AOA's Atlanta campus and pursuing the Delta Propel pathway puts you in the backyard of the airline you're aiming for. The Delta Propel program offers a conditional flow offer to Endeavor Air for students who complete their CFI ratings and instruct at AOA, with a clear path to Delta Air Lines.
