 American Aviation Academy maintain a very diverse, complete fleet of training and rental aircraft. Single engine aircraft available for training include C-152, C-172, Piper Warrior, C-172 RG. All of which are equipped for flight in instrument meteorological conditions. The primary multi-engine trainer used is a Beechcraft 76 Duchess,
fully instrument equipped, preparing each student with the experience
necessary for that commercial pilot position. For instrument and commercial ground training we use a Frasca 142 simulator. We are
also able to arrange Aerobatics instruction if required. All aircraft are mechanically maintained, washed and serviced on-site minimising downtime.
