Flight School

Earning a Private Pilot License is challenging, rewarding, and fun. Flying gives you the ability to do everything on your own schedule, from shortening a long trip to enjoying a summer sunset from a totally different perspective.

Cartersville-Bartow County Airport provides the perfect location to earn your wings. We are located outside of the congested airspace surrounding the Atlanta metro area. Our students never have to wait in line to taxi out, and after take-off can almost immediately begin their lesson or practice session without having to fly far away from the congested Atlanta airspace to a practice area.

The curriculum for learning to fly has been carefully developed as a series of ground school lessons, self-study lessons and hands-on training in an aircraft, all led by a highly skilled and attentive FAA Flight Instructor. The road to a Private Pilot License is a series of carefully crafted building blocks and lesson plans all interweaved using modern interactive videos and manuals.

Learning in the right aircraft

Phoenix Air offers instruction in one of the world’s best state of the art training aircraft: the Cessna 172R and the Cessna 172SP. The Cessna 172 provides greater performance and more interior room than many other instructional aircraft. It also has advanced autopilots and GPS navigation (with moving map). These aircraft are excellent for initial and advanced training. They also permit a pilot to take family and friends along during their lessons or on business or pleasure trips.

As part of our pilot development programs cadets have access to purpose-built facilities such as:
• High-intensity runway lighting
• Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS) weather reporting system
• Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) control tower
• Pre-and-post flight briefing areas
• Comfortable terminals and class space

As a student, you’ll train alongside like-minded people and create lifelong friendships.
