history_runwaySporty’s Academy is based at a lively, small airport. Clermont County Airport (I69) is an ideal base of operations for a student pilot. It’s small enough that you will not feel intimidated by a fleet of huge airplanes, yet big enough and active enough to give you plenty of real-world flying experience.

Because the airport is home to Sporty’s Pilot Shop, you will have access to all the latest products and services that make flying safer and more fun. Sporty’s weather station will be an integral part of your flight planning, while access to Sporty’s aviation library will complement your own learning.

The Tri-State Warbird Museum is also on the field, and when you’re ready to step up to aircraft ownership, Sporty’s is a Cessna dealer with its own maintenance facility and avionics shop right there. Sporty’s is involved with every aspect of aviation, and that fact makes your training all that more effective.

Sporty’s Academy maintains an impeccable fleet of late-model aircraft, including technically advanced Cessna 172 and 182 aircraft, including those with glass panels. In addition, Sporty’s Academy maintains a Piper Aztec for multiengine training.

With its own maintenance and avionics shop on the field and maintenance standards that are the envy of any flight school, you won’t be disappointed with the aircraft in which you train.

Sporty’s Academy will be here tomorrow. And tomorrow. And next year. And next year. You’ve no doubt heard the nightmare stories of flight schools that suddenly shut down, taking the student’s cash with them. Sporty’s is celebrating its 60th year, and as one of the premiere companies in general aviation, has the necessary financial wherewithal and corporate stability.

Eric-Sean-Airplane1-300x168Sporty’s Academy is more than a flight school. When you train at Sporty’s, you’re part of the Sporty’s family. That means you benefit from training at a school that’s been deeply involved in aviation education since 1961. Unlike other flight schools, Sporty’s has developed its own courses, its own teaching aids for flight instructors and has produced hundreds of hours of video material on all aspects of pilot technique and aircraft safety.

Choosing to train at Sporty’s Academy is the next best decision you can make whether you want to fly just for fun or as the start of an exciting career!

    Cost of recurrent program, I have my ticket and about 240hours but have not flown for 13 years due to having kids, But I would love to get current and comfortable again…..a lot has changed in 13 years. I think it might be better to go for a week or so vs an hour here and there. Any thoughts.

    We have flown with friends and gleaned some good insights from them. We don’t have a plane and probably will not for years. Still, do you have lessons or trips that would be fun and educational for some enthusiasts?
