New Skycatchers Coming Soon |
Four Engines on Two Planes - AAoA has recently purchased an additional Baron 55 twin engine aircraft N870S, the sister to N1076W. With this addition to the fleet you now have more flexibility to train through multi-engine ratings with us or make short work of long flights, cruising at 173-188 knots. Seating five persons you'll be able to travel in style. Check out our Aircraft section for pictures and more info.
One Engine on One Plane - AAoA has recently added a Cessna 182RG to the fleet. This retractable gear aircraft is ideal for long cross country flights or for getting those complex and high performance endorsements you've been thinking about.
Two Engines on Two Planes - AAoA also has two of the all new sleek Cessna 162 Skycatchers on order. In fact we will be one of the first flight schools in the nation to receive one when they begin shipping in mid-2009. The Skycatcher is the first Cessna made Light Sport Aircraft (LSA), a new breed of aircraft for the FAA's new Sport Pilot Certificate.

Utilizing the G1000 platform currently, we will soon be adding the C172 conventional cockpit simulation as well as the Baron B55. You have to experience this incredible platform for flight training. Hourly rates for the Redbird as configured are just $84.00. Private and Instrument training takes on a whole new meaning with simulation as close to real as it gets.
