About
Legacy Aviation provides flight training under both sets of FAA training regulations, FAR part 141 and FAR part 61. We offer an experienced team of professional instructor pilots and we are positioned on a terrific Northeast Philadelphia Airport that has a 7,000 foot instrument runway, a 5,000 runway and an operating control tower.
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 professionally 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.
