US Aviation Academy

About this school

US Aviation Academy's Atlanta campus is an FAA Part 147 aviation maintenance school in Forest Park, Georgia, located about ten minutes from Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International (ATL) — the world's busiest airport and home to Delta's massive TechOps operation. That location is the campus's defining advantage: it places students at the doorstep of one of the densest aviation-maintenance job markets in the country, and the academy maintains a direct relationship with Delta Air Lines, including a pathway designed to move Delta ramp agents into A&P mechanic roles. The training follows the network's accelerated, tools-included model, with the widest schedule menu of any campus: an 8-month accelerated day program, a 13-month part-time weekend program, and a 15-month part-time night program. All three cover the FAA General, Airframe, and Powerplant subject areas (General Technician, Airframe Parts 1–2, Powerplant Parts 1–2) and prepare students for the three FAA written exams plus the oral and practical. As at the other campuses, US Aviation Academy supplies all tools for use during training, removing a major upfront expense, and it advertises total program cost in the low-to-mid $30,000s — which it positions against the $60,000-plus and 21-to-24-month timelines it attributes to traditional competitors. The Atlanta campus is VA-approved and can accept VA education benefits for training, making it a viable option for veterans and transitioning service members using the Post-9/11 GI Bill. Beyond the Delta connection, the campus feeds the same airline pipeline programs as the broader academy — United, Southwest, Envoy, Republic, SkyWest, GoJet, and Mountain Air Cargo — and points graduates toward maintenance roles at legacy and charter carriers, repair stations, and cargo operators in Atlanta and nationwide. Civilian financing runs through Sallie Mae, ZuntaFi, and Stratus.
