Epic Flight Academy Adds Satellite Training Facility

Epic Flight Academy Of New Smyrna Beach Goes West With A Satellite Facility In Ocala, FL

To make flight training more accessible, Epic Flight Academy, a FAA-certified Part 141 flight school in New Smyrna Beach (KEVB), Florida added a satellite training facility in at the Ocala International-Jim Taylor Field (KOCF), Florida. 

While those flying at New Smyrna Beach location enjoy waterfront views and a little southside busy-ness inside the Class-C airspace of Daytona Beach International (KDAB), the satellite location at Ocala international is a Class-D, so they’ll still be sharp on the radios, but as the late comedian Rodney Dangerfield often lamented, perhaps they’ll ‘get [some] respect’.

The new satellite facility at KOCF, just over 65 miles west as the crow flies, or 1h45min by car certainly provides the accessibility of which Chief Flight Instructor, Vic Johnson spoke, and the positive marketing protentional of the expansion is further reinforced by the fact that Epi Flight Academy already have students enrolled. Epic is also known for their ‘Epic Anywhere’ flight training program where they will send instructor and airplane to you at the airport of your choice within the 48 contiguous states!

Epic Flight Academy founded in 1999 operates a fleet of the newest Cessna 172 Skyhawk for single engine training, Piper PA-44 Seminole (twin for double the fun or trouble, depending on your perspective), and four different flight simulators. In addition to Flight Training, Epic also offers Part 147 mechanic training, and the size of their fleet makes it a perfect training ground. Epic boasts zero to airline heron in 10 months, and mechanic training in 14-18 months. Apparently, the average age of their fleet is 5 years!
