Upright Aviation Academy Open House

On Saturday, August 5th, Upright Aviation Academy opened its doors to the aviation community and the general public for their first open house.

A significant number of visitors had the opportunity to tour the new 8,000 sqft facility, view the fleet of aircraft, engage in conversations with pilots, and meet Milton Mayor Gord Krantz. He joined Upright Aviation Academy founder Geoff Armstrong in welcoming the visitors during the opening ceremonies. The event included the ceremonial cake-cutting and an inspiring speech.

Upright Aviation Academy is a Transport Canada-certified flight school and pilot training facility located at Burlington Airport (CZBA) in Burlington, Ontario, Canada. What began as an idea 10 years ago came to life in 2019 with a simple mission: to enhance pilot training and safety.

The academy utilizes the Extra 300L and the Super Decathlon (8KCAB) for their operations and training. They focus on upset prevention and recovery training (UPRT), aerobatic flight training and exhilarating thrill rides.
