Epic’s Jacksonville Aircraft Fleet
Cessna 172
Our flight students train in brand new aircraft. We purchase the Cessna 172 with G1000 glass cockpit directly from the factory. This is the most popular and safe flight training aircraft. You can learn to fly in safe, new equipment, and complete your training in a timely manner. Epic is famous for its excellent equipment, highly skilled instructors, and high pass rate. Are you ready to achieve your pilot goals? We are standing by to help make those dreams a reality.

Flight Simulator
One reason Epic has such a high pass rate for FAA exams and checkrides is because our students have the opportunity to train in flight simulators. Advanced Aviation Training Devices (AATD), such as the GTX by Precision Flight Controls, increase knowledge and skills. The G1000 open cockpit allows pilots to accurately simulate all types of flight maneuvers.

Jacksonville Campus
Epic’s Jacksonville flight training facility houses new equipment, classroom space, and offices, and briefing rooms. Students will find comfortable spaces to study and relax between flights.
