Falcon Aviation Academy (Falcon Aviation Academy, LLC) is a division of Falcon Aviation Services, Inc. based out of Newnan, GA at the Newnan-Coweta County Airport (KCCO). Currently serving the Metro Atlanta area, students have graduated to occupy positions in commercial, corporate, and military aviation industries.

Background

Falcon Aviation began in 1999 as Griffin Flight School located out of the Spalding County Airport (6A2) in Griffin, GA. The flight school quickly ran out of space and made the decision to move to Peachtree City, GA while at the same time acquiring and taking on the name of a local flight school, Peachtree Flight Center, operating at the Peachtree City Airport/Falcon Field (KFFC).

In 2002, Falcon Aviation began a multi year fleet upgrade to transition from older model Cessna Aircraft and Piper Aircraft to state of the art Diamond Aircraft.
