Acron Aviation Signs ESA Agreement With U.S. Air Force To Provide Initial Pilot Training

Acron Aviation has signed an Educational Service Agreement (ESA) with the United States Air Force to deliver initial pilot training for Air Force officers selected for Undergraduate Pilot Training.

This partnership makes Acron Aviation one of the first Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) standalone Part 141 flight schools to receive an ESA from the U.S. Air Force to support its pilot training pipeline.

Under the agreement, Acron Aviation will provide flight training at its facilities. 

David Cox, VP and Director of Acron Aviation’s Airline Academy said: “To be selected as one of the first Part 141 flight school to support this effort is a testament to the unwavering commitment our team has to quality, safety, and innovation in aviation training. We are proud to play a role in shaping the future of our nation’s Airmen.”

"We are deeply honored to partner with the United States Air Force in this important mission."

With the first-class starting training in November 2025, this program will prepare U.S. Air Force officers with the foundational skills and airmanship needed to succeed as pilots; and will result in them earning their private pilot certificate, instrument rating and multi-engine rating.
