US Aviation Academy Expands Liberty University Flight Training Affiliate Program to Atlanta Area Campus

Students can now accelerate pilot training while accessing Title IV financial aid options, helping expand opportunities for funding flight training in Georgia.

PEACHTREE CITY, GA — US Aviation Academy has announced the expansion of its partnership with Liberty University’s School of Aeronautics through the Liberty University Flight Training Affiliate (FTA) program, now available at the academy’s Atlanta-area campus at Falcon Field in Peachtree City, Georgia. The partnership allows students to pursue an accredited aviation degree from Liberty University while completing hands-on flight training locally with US Aviation Academy.

The expanded program is designed to help address the growing demand for professional pilots by making it easier for students to begin funding flight training in Georgia through federal financial aid programs such as Title IV funding, including FAFSA.

Through the Liberty University affiliate structure, students enroll in Liberty University’s aviation degree programs while completing their flight labs at US Aviation Academy’s Peachtree City campus. This structure enables eligible students to access federal financial aid options typically reserved for traditional university programs, significantly improving affordability and accessibility for aspiring pilots.

Accelerated Flight Training Pathway

US Aviation Academy is known for its accelerated training models, allowing motivated students to complete their flight certifications in an efficient and structured format. Through the Liberty University affiliate program in Georgia, students can complete their professional pilot training in aruond 21 months, depending on scheduling pace and prior experience.

Students training at the Peachtree City campus can progress through the full professional pilot pathway, including:

• Private Pilot Certificate (PPL)

• Instrument Rating (IRA)

• Commercial Pilot Certificate (CSEL)

• Multi-Engine Add-On (CMEL)

• Certified Flight Instructor (CFI)

• Certified Flight Instructor – Instrument (CFII)

• Multi-Engine Instructor (MEI)

The program combines Liberty University’s accredited aviation curriculum with the real-world flight training environment at US Aviation Academy, preparing students for careers with airlines, charter companies, corporate flight departments, and aviation operators nationwide.

Self-Examining Authority Accelerates Certification

A key advantage of training with US Aviation Academy is its FAA Part 141 Self-Examining Authority, which allows the school to conduct certain end-of-course checkrides internally rather than relying solely on external FAA examiners. This capability helps streamline training and reduce delays that are common in many regions due to examiner shortages.

For students pursuing careers as professional pilots, the academy’s self-examining authority helps keep training timelines predictable and supports the accelerated completion pathway available through the Liberty University program.

Expanding Opportunities for Funding Flight Training in Georgia

The expansion of Liberty University’s affiliate program to the Peachtree City campus represents a major step forward in improving access to funding flight training in Georgia. By combining Liberty University’s Title IV financial aid eligibility with US Aviation Academy’s accelerated training structure, students gain a pathway that balances both affordability and efficiency.

Federal financial aid options available to qualifying students may include:

• FAFSA-based grants and loans

• Federal Direct Student Loans

• Parent PLUS Loans

• Additional university-based financing options

This structure allows students to pursue a regionally accredited bachelor’s degree while completing professional pilot training, a combination that many airlines increasingly value when evaluating pilot applicants.

The location provides an ideal environment for pilot training, with diverse airspace, strong year-round flying conditions, and proximity to one of the world’s largest aviation hubs.
