Who We Are

We are Penn Flight Academy and we are located at the Quakertown Airport in north western Bucks County Pennsylvania.  Penn Flight is one of the premier flight training centers in the greater Philadelphia area. 

We have been in business over 10 years and have trained hundreds of students that we have watched at zero flight time and no experience and are now flying for our regional airlines and in some cases our major legacy carriers.  Penn Flight has been around long enough, trained enough students and have built a solid reputation that we have gained respect in the industry to the point where we will be taking the next step (coming soon) and growing to a full 141 school offering a full degree program in professional aviation.  

The point is, Penn Flight started a little over 10 years ago, with one instructor and 2 airplanes and has grown to a completely updated fleet with new and late model single engine airplanes and recently added a twin engine Beech Duchess, with updated modern avionics.  We are not just another “local airport” flight school, we have become a professional pilot training center.

What We do...

We here at Penn Flight believe in a few fundamental core elements to training.  The first is that we teach from a “safety first” stand point.  Flying is all about mitigating risk and over the years the industry has used its experiences to develop training programs that mitigate the risks down to a very small level.  But if schools don’t follow these elements, that risk factor can return to higher levels.  That’s why we have based our training and training programs on staying true to the proven methods that keep the risk level at the lowest possible point.

We also, invest in our equipment.  Many flight schools, unfortunately, have come up short when taking on new airplanes in their fleets, looking for bargain airplanes or flying airplanes that have used up their useful life.  Then once these airplanes are on their flight line, they don’t invest in updating to new modern equipment and simply do the absolute minimum to keep the plane “legal.”   

Here, we are different.  The owner, Captain Phil Reinford Ret., has thousand upon thousands of flight hours and years of experience that has shown him that the only way to have proper flight training is to have good sound equipment,  He started Penn Flight investing in good solid equipment and hiring the best instructors and has continued to follow this practice to this day.  Come out and check out our flight line and meet our team and you will quickly realize that if you are looking for flight training in Pennsylvania, Penn Flight Academy ranks as one of the top flight schools in the tri-state area.
