Sporty's Academy was founded in 1987 to develop aviation courses and to produce videos that teach pilots everything they need to know about aviation-from weather and safety to technique and air traffic control-the focus is always on real world flying. For several years, Sporty's Academy gave three-day ground school courses in conjunction with AOPA's Air Safety Foundation. Today, Sporty's Academy is an FAA approved Part 141 flight school and provides flight training for all students at Clermont County/Sporty's Airport as well as for the University of Cincinnati's Professional Pilot program.
