Patriot Pilot Academy

Patriot Pilot Academy celebrated its grand opening in 2024 at Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport (KECP) in Panama City, Florida, quickly establishing itself as a premier FAA Part 141 and Part 61 training center for the Florida Panhandle region. The academy distinguishes itself by maintaining an on-site Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE) and on-site management team, enabling students to complete checkrides without traveling to other facilities and providing seamless oversight of their training progress. Offering six comprehensive flight programs from private pilot through CFI and CFII, Patriot Pilot Academy accommodates both accelerated students seeking rapid certification and self-paced learners, with the goal of preparing pilots for careers all the way through airline operations.
