Fast-Tracking Dreams into Cockpits

Speedway Flight Training, based at the Atlanta Speedway Airport in Hampton, Georgia, is far more than just a pilot school—it’s a gateway to aviation careers. With a modern fleet, a student-centered approach, and expert instruction in a low-traffic yet strategically located environment, Speedway is rapidly becoming the preferred launchpad for aspiring aviators.

Tailored Training Tracks to Fit Every Journey

Whether you’re taking your first steps into aviation or building toward a commercial flying career, Speedway offers structured programs for every stage of flight training. Their flagship “Fast Track to the Flight Deck” program accelerates students from zero experience to Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) in as little as 12 to 18 months. Each training path is designed for efficiency, transparency, and career readiness:

  • Zero to CFI: Approx. 265 flight hours
  • Private to CFII: Approx. 215 hours
  • CPL/IR to CFII: Approx. 165 hours

For those who already hold certain certifications, modular options ensure time and financial resources are maximized without redundancy.

A Controlled, Focused Training Environment

Speedway operates from a non-towered field, offering a safe and efficient learning environment away from the congestion of commercial hubs. At the same time, it’s close to Atlanta’s Class B airspace, giving students valuable exposure to real-world air traffic control communications and procedures.

Cutting-Edge Equipment and Mentorship-Driven Instruction

The school’s fleet of Cessna 172s is equipped with advanced avionics to replicate modern commercial aircraft systems. All aircraft are meticulously maintained to the highest standards. Equally important are Speedway’s instructors—experienced aviators who provide hands-on, mentorship-focused training that goes beyond the textbook.

Accessible Entry, Real Opportunities

Speedway offers an introductory $99 Discovery Flight, making it easy for anyone to explore their interest in flying. Students who decide to continue can take advantage of the “Fly Now, Train Later” initiative, which applies the Discovery Flight cost as a credit toward their first official lesson.

Proven Success and Student Satisfaction

With an 82% first-time checkride pass rate, Speedway consistently delivers results. Student feedback highlights the exceptional quality of instruction, aircraft reliability, and a culture that combines high standards with a welcoming community. As one student put it, “The planes and instructors are top notch.”

Career-Oriented and Community-Focused

Operating under FAA Part 61, with Part 141 certification in the works, Speedway offers extensive training hours, financing through partners like Stratus Financial, and even job opportunities in administration and support. Whether you’re aiming to become a career pilot or contribute to aviation in another capacity, Speedway provides the platform to get there.
