North Georgia Aviation

North Georgia Aviation is a Cirrus Training Center

NGAV is a cutting-edge flight school located in Gainesville, GA, at Lee Gilmer Memorial Airport (KGVL). Pilots can build flight hours with our knowledgeable and personable CSIPs (Cirrus Standardized Instructor Pilots) and TCIs (Training Center Instructors).

We help you work toward foundational FAA ratings like Private Pilot, Instrumental Rating, Commercial Pilot, and Certified Flight Instructor training while flying in one of the most modern and safest airplanes in the industry. NGAV is a part 61 school for pilot training where you’re treated like family, and safety is priority number one!

Founded in 2019, NGAV filled the need for a more technology-driven pilot training center near the I-85 / I-985 corridor. The growing pilot shortage, demand for unencumbered business air travel, and lack of adequate flight training at other schools were key factors in the launch of our school.

Our transition began in early 2022 with our acceptance into a family of official training centers with Cirrus Aircraft. Cirrus has an unmatched commitment to safety, and NGAV’s focus remains centered on safety and proficiency in all phases of flight training.

The Cirrus effort to fully educate and nurture the proficiency of new aircraft owners fell right in line with our mission at NGAV. We too place special emphasis on helping student pilots feel comfortable and at ease to optimize learning and retention.
