Epic Flight Academy is one of the largest FAA Part 141 flight training schools in the United States, founded in 1999, with its main campus located at New Smyrna Beach, Florida, and additional locations including Tallahassee and Ocala, Florida. The academy specializes in pilot training from zero flight experience through professional pilot certificates and ratings—from Private Pilot License (PPL) through Commercial Single-Engine, Multi-Engine, Instrument Rating, and Certified Flight Instructor credentials. Epic emphasizes modern training equipment with an all-glass Garmin G1000 avionics fleet and advanced flight simulators, including Frasca motion-based devices, to efficiently build flight proficiency and reduce training time. Epic’s programs are FAA-approved and structured under Part 141, giving students a standardized curriculum and allowing some flight hours in simulators to count toward certification. Beyond pilot pathways, Epic also offers FAA Part 147 Aircraft Mechanic (A&P) training programs, expanding opportunities in aviation maintenance. The school draws international and domestic students, and many graduates fly for airlines worldwide. Epic additionally provides online ground school options and college credit partnerships, and it markets itself as a turnkey flight training solution with financing options and structured career progression.
