Our History
Aerosim Flight Academy is located at the Orlando Sanford International Airport in Sanford, Florida. Established in 1989 by Comair Airlines, the Academy trains students to become professional, highly qualified pilots to fulfill the needs of the growing airline industry. As the only airline owned and operated pilot training academy, the school’s reputation grew with the expanding airline. In 2000, Delta Air Lines purchased Comair Airlines and its subsidiaries. This new era marked boundless growth and excitement for the Academy. To align with the Academy’s expanding role in providing first officers to the Delta Connection carriers, the Academy was renamed Delta Connection Academy (DCA). DCA continued to grow and expand its endeavors by partnering with colleges to provide flight training for their aviation degree programs.
In December of 2009, Delta Connection Academy merged with Aerosim Technologies, an aviation simulator and courseware design firm. Founded in 1993, Aerosim Technologies has provided the link between Computer based Training and Full Flight Simulators by designing a new, PC-based simulator trainer, equipped with full free-play functions and realistic cockpit environments. This exciting partnership led to the renaming of the school as Aerosim Flight Academy.
Aerosim Flight Academy is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC) and provides a professional flight training environment based on sophisticated airline standards. The Academy has been recognized by the Federal Aviation Administration for its dedication to quality, safety, reliability, and performance and continually strives to turn students into successful airline pilots that exceed the expectations of airlines worldwide.
Aerosim Flight Academy offers pilot school courses approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under 14 CFR Part 141 and general aviation training under 14 CFR Part 61. The Academy provides a professional flight-training environment based on sophisticated airline standards dedicated to safety, quality, standardization, and performance.
