Ascent Aeronautical Academy

My son did a discovery flight with Rick. Amazing experience for him makes for one happy mom!!! Great place to learn to fly.

Has a very fun first experience ever attempting to fly a helicopter during my discovery flight. The instructor I had was very knowledgeable and answered all of my many questions. Definitely will repeat!

I had an Amazing experience, with both the Helicopter Intro Flight and the Discovery Airplane flight. My Certified Flight Instructor Pilot, Ryder, was very professional and detailed with the Helicopter flight. MY Certified Flight Instructor Pilot, David, was also very professional and detailed with the Discovery Airplane flight. Both Flight instructors were very Safe and educating, and provided comforting and enjoyable flights. Highly recommended to take both flights.

I did an Intro to Helicopter Flight and had a great experience with Ryder. He answered all questions, went through the preflight checklist, and we took off. Even though I had zero experience, I felt safe because he swiftly made any corrections when I had control of the cyclic. My boyfriend came along and was able to check out the helicopter and take pictures. I'm so happy I was able to finally experience 'flying' a helicopter!

The flight instructors are very patient and professional. They use French Guimbal Cabri G2 helicopters which are all new. International students shall obtain their pilot license verification back to country. They are applying for CAAC approval especially a good news for Chinese pilot students. The reason I chose this flight school is its background info, FAA 141 Helicopter Flight School. M1 Visa students accepted. VA approved. Contracted with Atlantic Cape Community College, Mays Landing. Their brand new birds are a big plus!
