About us

EB Flight Training has come a long way since its inception back in 2022. The school was initially just a humble startup, with only one instructor imparting knowledge to aspiring pilots in rented airplanes and a shared office space. However, EB Flight Training has grown to become one of the leading schools for part 61 flight training in the Daytona Beach area. It has achieved this reputation through sheer hard work, dedication, and commitment towards providing high-quality training programs and personalized attention to their students.

The school’s curriculum is designed to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and experience required to become successful pilots in a highly competitive industry. Under the guidance of expert instructors, students are exposed to a range of real-life scenarios, allowing them to gain practical experience while still in training.
