About the Luke Weathers Flight Academy
The Luke Weathers Flight Academy is located at 11299 Airport Road in Olive Branch, Mississippi, United States. The academy was established in honor of Lieutenant Colonel Luke Weathers Jr., the first African American air traffic controller for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) based at Memphis International Airport. Lt. Col. Weathers was also the first African American to receive the key to the City of Memphis, declaring a day in his honor.
The academy offers a range of flight training programs, including FAR 141 and 61 Flight Training, JET Transition Training, UAV Pilot Training, Military Rotor Fixed Wing Transition, Air Force Candidate Flight Training, and more. The Professional Pilot Program aims to take students from zero experience to airline pilot within two to three years, with guaranteed Flight Instructor job placements after graduation.
With a professional staff of dedicated instructors, the Luke Weathers Flight Academy provides top-quality flight training to students from Memphis area schools and beyond. The academy offers discovery flights for those interested in experiencing life beyond the clouds.
As a non-profit organization, the academy keeps fixed costs low while exceeding FAR Part 61/141 minimums. Additionally, the academy aims to increase diversity in the airline industry by training 50 new pilots per year within the next 5 years. Donations to the academy support these initiatives and help sustain the academy for future generations.
