New flight training academy opens at KSEF
NewsFollowing a soft opening period of several months, Naples, Florida-based Rexair Flight Training has opened the Rexair Professional Pilot Academy in Sebring, Florida.
Based out of the main FBO building at Sebring Regional Airport (KSEF), Rexair Professional Pilot Academy provides ground school, flight training, and housing solutions for students.
The school operates factory-built Vans RV-12 aircraft that meet Technically Advanced Aircraft standards, as well as a TECNAM P2006T for multi-engine training.
“From the start our goal was to provide high-quality one-on-one customer service to our students. We spent our first several months of operation in a real-world testing environment of our systems, aircraft, and facilities with an intentionally limited number of students,” said Michael Hangartner, director of professional flight training.
“When it comes to flight training, Florida has so much to offer,” said Rexair CEO and former Naval Aviator Keith West. “In Naples we’ve been established and successful for a number of years. But we saw a need for a dedicated academy style program that could provide opportunities to students from outside the local area. After a statewide search we determined Sebring Regional Airport is the perfect place to do just that.” For more info about Rexair click here. Read more here.

Participants stayed at the Seven Sebring Hotel, conveniently located within walking distance of the airport, creating a seamless and engaging experience from airfield to evening socials. The final day featured a mass briefing and practice for the Sun ‘n Fun mass arrival, capping off a highly successful and well-organized event.
