Flight Training School – Holladay Aviation
Holladay Aviation is a flight training school based at 976 Charles Lindbergh Drive in Jacksonville, Florida 32225. Owned and operated by Dana and Meredith Holladay, the company has provided flight instruction for more than 20 years and emphasizes serious, safety-focused training paired with an enjoyable learning experience, summarized in its message to train like your life depends on it because it does. Instructors focus on risk management and sound decision-making rather than endorsing poor performance.
The school offers a range of training programs that move a student from first flight through advanced certificates. These include the Discovery Flight, Sport Pilot certification, Private Pilot certification, Instrument Rating, Instrument Proficiency Check, Commercial Pilot and Flight Instructor training, and Flight Reviews with rental checkouts. For pilots interested in single-seat ultralights operated under FAR Part 103, the firm also provides Ultralight Safety Training.
Holladay Aviation operates several aircraft that are available for rental at published prices. Its training resources include an FAA-approved Advanced Aviation Training Device, which the school says helps students reduce training costs. The company also offers a Mobile Flight Simulator service that can be deployed within roughly 100 miles of Jacksonville, extending its reach to students across the surrounding region. Additional offerings include orientation programs, training guides, ForeFlight instruction, headset sales, and guidance on obtaining FAA medical certification. The school maintains a family-oriented atmosphere and provides information on renters insurance as well as financing options for students.
