Flight schools in Virginia
Every flight school the AOPA directory currently lists in Virginia — 56 of them, in 34 towns and cities — is on this page, with Chesapeake (5), Leesburg (5) and Abingdon (4) at the top by count.
We built this so you can see the whole field at once rather than whichever three schools bought the best ads. The trade-off is that a raw directory ages: some of these will have moved or closed. Tell us which ones you are considering and we will confirm they are still flying.
Listings are sourced from the AOPA Flight School Finder and have not been individually verified by us. Some may have moved, changed hands or closed. Schools marked “Verified” are the ones we checked by hand in July 2026.

How this compares to Arizona
Arizona is the state we have actually worked: 25 schools called, checked and written up, with the mistakes in the public directories corrected. Virginia is not there yet. If you want to see what a finished state looks like, the Arizona hub is it — and if you want Virginia to look like that, calling us is what makes it happen.
