Legacy Aviation

? Legacy Aviation is a full-service aviation company headquartered at Northeast Philadelphia Airport (PNE). We provide end-to-end solutions for all private and business aviation needs. Legacy Aviation Flight School is built upon Hortman Aviation?s rich history of 75+ years of professional service.

? Our Flight School provides flight training under both sets of FAA training regulations, FAR part 141 and FAR part 61, and is the only school in the city of Philadelphia with an FAA Part 141 rating.

? Legacy Aviation trains pilots from the United States and from countries throughout the world.

? Our partnership with Piedmont Airlines is one of the best pre-training employment offers in the country.

? We are positioned on a terrific airport that has a 7000 foot instrument runway (same length as LaGuardia Airport), a 5000 runway, and an operating control tower.

? Our Chief Pilot Instructor has an extensive, over 39 year background in pilot training including general, corporate, and airline aviation. He has graduated over 7000 pilots, 800 of whom are flying for commercial airlines, all with impeccable record.

? Our Fleet consists of 15 single and multi-engine airplanes.

? Our Maintenance department services not only all of our own fleet but also planes from other airports.

In addition, we are located in the busy Northeast Corridor, which forces us to become very familiar with different types of airspace. On a weekly basis, hundreds of corporate jets and turboprops are transiting the traffic pattern. Exposing students to normal everyday commercial aircraft traffic is a great experience. From the beginning, our students are trained to work pro?fessionally with air traffic control during pre-taxi, taxi, takeoff, climb, cruise, descent, approach, landing, and the missed approach phases of flight. During each and every flight, our students are developing habit patterns for excellent communication skills. They are taught to work with Ground Control, Tower Control, Approach Control, Departure Control, Clearance Delivery, and to secure a current weather briefing from the ATIS before every takeoff and every landing. This is very valuable experience and essential for every professional pilot.
