"Those who would sacrifice liberty for some temporary security deserve neither liberty or security." Benjamin Franklin
The Founding Fathers, by signing the Declaration of Independence, sacrificed their families, their fortunes and their lives. Their commitment, dedication and steadfast belief in the virtue and rightness of the words printed on that document stand as a testament of courage, strength, and character so lacking in so many in power today. These were not words to be taken back at the insistence of some offended party demanding that we apologize. These were and are words that demand unwavering courage and commitment to uphold and defend; true today as the day they were first penned.
Freedom is not Free ********** Happy Fourth of July!

New Skycatchers Coming Soon |
Two Beautiful Baron 55s - AAoA has recently purchased an additional Baron 55 multi-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.
Complex and High Performance - 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.
LSA by Design, Fun by Cessna - 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.

A full motion Cessna Skyhawk featuring the Garmin G1000!
Austin Academy of Aviation is the first flight school in the U.S. to have a full motion simulator for a Cessna Skyhawk. 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. Whether doing instrument approaches or practicing stalls and spin recovery, this FAA approved AATD lets you train to your limits while being safely on the ground.
Financing through the GI Bill is available for ratings earned at Austin Academy of Aviation after you obtain your Private Pilot's Certificate. Click the link above for the website to apply for these benefits.
After submitting the appropriate form to the VA, contact the certifying official at Austin Academy and notify that person you have applied for VA benefits. They will then submit Form 22-1999 "Enrollment Certification." The VA's approval and certification of benefits typically takes three to four weeks.
