Brett Aviation

Brett Aviation is an FAA Part 141 flight school based at Martin State Airport in Middle River, Maryland. The company serves the greater Baltimore area and provides flight training for private pilot, instrument rating, commercial rating, certified flight instructor, and multi engine rating certificates. New students may start with a discovery flight to experience piloting an aircraft before enrolling in a full training program.

The school maintains a rental fleet of Cessna 172 aircraft for training and time building. The fleet includes a 1975 Cessna 172M with traditional steam gauge avionics and several Cessna 172S models from 2001 through 2009. Three aircraft from 2008 and 2009 feature Garmin G1000 glass cockpit avionics. The school also operates a 2014 AATD One G simulator for instrument procedures and training. Licensed pilots may rent aircraft after completing a checkout with one of the school instructors.

Brett Aviation partners with the Community College of Baltimore County Aviation Department to support students in professional pilot programs. The school reports that several former students have moved on to careers at airlines. Training programs are designed to prepare students for professional flying jobs, from the first flight through job placement.

The school offers monthly weekend FAA written test preparation courses to help students pass the knowledge exams required for each rating. An online schedule system allows students and renters to book aircraft and instruction. Weight and balance documents and other pilot resources are available through the company website.

Brett Aviation provides financing options through partner lenders for flight training costs. The school is authorized to accept VA benefits for military veterans pursuing flight training. Chapter 33 veterans may be eligible for full coverage of flight training expenses and may qualify for a monthly housing allowance during training.

In addition to flight training, the company offers photo flights and aircraft rental for licensed pilots who need to stay current or take personal trips. Visitors to the website can view administration and flight instructor profiles. The site also provides links to current news from the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association and other aviation resources.
