General
The leading flight school in the Federates Suns, if not the whole Inner Sphere, the Armstrong Flight Academy has been graduating some of the AFFC's most talented pilots for over three-hundred years. The academy is co-located at Galax in close proximity to Federated-Boeing Interstellar, the latrest spacecraft manufacturer in the Inner Sphere. This makes it possible for both to benefit with the Academy gaining the experience of the company's top engineers and test pilots, and Federated-Boeing the opportunity to test their designs.
The academy is specialized in teaching only naval oriented courses such as aerospace pilots and naval technicians. It is so highly specialized in fact, that the Flight Academy employs use of Galax's military training camp to teach basic training to their cadets. This outsourcing allows the Academy to focus on teaching the best piloting and technician skills possible.
The current Commandant circa 3062 is Major General Christopher Saunders.
Atmosphere
The cadets know the danger of a fighter pilot that every take off could be their last, and this circumstances make the discipline lax. The personal behavior of each cadet is disciplined. Hot heads are exclud early and are not accepted by any member from the academy.
Special Notes
Under 50 percent of each class graduates successfully. The continued screening of every cadet make the number of dropouts high. The required skills are far higher as for mechwarriors in contrast
