The Bottom Line

Epic Flight Academy trains domestic (U.S.) and international pilots. We have been training pilots since 1999. Our graduates represent 110+ countries and all 50 states. Our aircraft mechanic schools also accept U.S. and international students and accept VA benefits. We offer Sallie Mae student loans for pilots and mechanics.

Epic purchases all training aircraft and flight simulators brand new from the factory. Students train in the newest and safest equipment, and the use of simulators saves time and money.

Epic also offers affordable short-term housing options and transportation to campus.

Most importantly, Epic is a family business. We frequently host student appreciation events, study nights (with food!), and have student support staff available to help when needed.
