About ACOM Aviation
Learn to fly
in the Wiregrass.
ACOM Aviation Academy is a flight school at Ozark-Blackwell Airport (71J) in Ozark, Alabama — a single base in the heart of the Wiregrass area, convenient to Dothan, Enterprise, Daleville, and the surrounding southeast. We train discovery flyers, weekend pilots, and career-track students — anyone who decides it's time to actually fly the airplane.
We keep things small on purpose. A modern fleet, certificated instructors who actually fly, and a schedule flexible enough to fit around the rest of your life. When you call, you reach a real person — and you stay reached through your checkride.

What we believe
Four rules we fly by.
Fly with you
Our instructors put the controls in your hands as soon as it's safe — that's the only way you actually learn.
Honest pricing, honest hours
We quote in real numbers — no hidden fees, no surprise hourlies, no upsells. We tell you what your certificate will likely cost before you start.
A modern, maintained fleet
Our Cherokee fleet and Twin Comanche are kept on schedule by mechanics who fly them. You spend less time in the maintenance hangar.
We're invested in your career
If you want to fly for a living, we'll map the path. Our newest CFI started here as a student — that's the model.
Where students come from
The Wiregrass — and the southeast.
We train students from across south Alabama, the Florida panhandle, and southwest Georgia. If you're within a tank of fuel, you're close enough to fly with us.

Ready when you are
Don't let another year go by on the ground.
Five years from now, you can be the person who flew their family to the beach last weekend — or the person still talking about it.
Most people who say they'll learn to fly never do, because they never take the first step. Book a discovery flight today and we'll be in the air this week.
