Andover Flight Academy
Andover Flight Academy, (AFA), is tucked away in a beautiful valley in the
wooded hills of Andover, NJ. at Andover-Aeroflex Airport 12N. We're
close enough to be easy to get to (about one hour from downtown
Manhattan), but far enough away to retain our rural charm. Nestled in a pristine valley and bordered by
two small lakes, Andover-Aeroflex might just be one of the most beautiful airports in the Northeast.
In addition to the paved runway a parallel grass strip is available for tailwheel use only.
But it's not the beautiful scenery which brings people to the Andover Flight Academy, it's the training.
Nowhere else in the tri-state area is such a unique line of aircraft,
services and training made available to the general public.
Since 1987 we have specialized in teaching the art of flying tailwheel airplanes. We have a seasoned staff of
instructors, some with over 10,000 hours of tailwheel time. We have been internationally recognized as the premiere
school for tailwheel instruction. We have been featured in many flying publications including Private Pilot,
Aero International, AOPA, Plane & Pilot, Flying Magazine, USA by Air and EAA Sport Aviation.
Some of our well-known clients include Hollywood celebrities Harrison Ford and James Brolin.
In addition to tailwheel training, we have been a go-to school for spins and spin awareness training in New Jersey. Centered initially around CFI candidates fulfilling FAA requirements for certified flight instructors, the program has become popular among other pilots recognizing its value in improving their safety and confidence. We also offer upset prevention and recovery training (UPRT) and basic aerobatics.
