A small and friendly flight school. I attained my IFR ticket here and Jeff was very helpful in matching me with a suitable instructor, and the owner Virgil stepped in to help arrange a DPE for my checkride that worked with my schedule.

Today I went on an introductory flight with Braydon. He went above and beyond to ensure I enjoyed the flight while providing a safe and thorough explanation of what he was doing during checks. He included me in the checks to really give you the full experience of flying. He taught me so much in the short amount of time we had.

If I do, I would certainly pick Braydon to te... read more

Our flight time was more than amp... read more

There were a few companies to choose from so I called Austin Academy of Aviation to ask some questions before making my decision. I talked with Virgil (the owner) before choosing to buy the discovery flight with them. I felt I needed to explain my son was on deploy... read more

Virgil Kennedy (the owner) is a fantastic guy with wealth of experience. At 79 years old you can see and sense his passion for flying, unfortunately tho that is not enough to manage a well-run and organised Flight School. It takes customer and students care which simply is not done right at this place. You’ll be waiting days on end to simply get a phone call. First impressions are everything and that couldn’t be more true considering my own experience. After attempting several times, I finally managed to get hold of somebod... read more
