About
Aero Elite Flight Training operates from Potomac Airfield in Fort Washington, Maryland — one of the most uniquely situated airports in general aviation, positioned directly within the Special Air Traffic Rules (SFAR) area surrounding the nation's capital. Training at Potomac Airfield requires pilots to master complex airspace procedures, Washington DC ADIZ operations, and the strict protocols of flying within Washington's restricted airspace environment — skills that are invaluable preparation for professional aviation careers. Aero Elite acquired GT Aviation to expand its training and aircraft management services to the DC-Maryland market, and the Fort Washington campus represents its Maryland flagship location. Part of the Aero Elite network that also includes training locations in Virginia, the school provides FAA Part 141 certificated instruction from private pilot through advanced ratings. The DC-area location creates a training environment unlike any other in the country, where student pilots develop sophisticated airspace management and radio communications skills from their earliest lessons while flying in the shadow of the monuments and landmarks that define the nation's capital.
