WEBSITE FLIGHT SCHOOL AIRCRAFT SALES FACILITIES & SERVICES

Welcome to autumn at Princeton Airport! As the seasons change and the leaves begin to turn, our students continue to reach new peaks, with exciting accomplishments and milestones happening throughout the flight school. Fall truly is one of the best seasons to experience from the sky, so get up and get out early to enjoy the changing colors from a whole new perspective. As we head into a busy fall flying season, we encourage our students to schedule lessons well in advance to maintain consistency and keep their training moving forward. And for our current pilots, remember that you don’t have to wait for your next biennial flight review to sharpen your skills or expand your knowledge. Our instructors are available to help you brush up on areas you may not have practiced recently, explore new destinations, work toward an additional rating, or simply become a more confident and knowledgeable pilot.

Office space is available to rent within our FBO, offering a unique opportunity to work in the heart of an active airport community. Hangar space is also becoming available, and several aircraft are currently for sale, so now is a great time to reach out if you’ve been looking for a place to keep an airplane or are thinking about aircraft ownership. And finally, we’re excited to announce that the Princeton Flying School Podcast is coming soon! Hosted by Rosie, the podcast will feature the personal stories and aviation journeys of our students and instructors, giving you a behind-the-scenes look at the many different paths that can lead someone to the sky. There’s a lot to look forward to this fall at Princeton Airport so come fly with us and be part of it!

Get Your Upgrade this Season

Down for the Winter, and Ready for Spring!

There are a few spots left this fall to have your panels upgraded. Questions about how it would look? How it would fly? Don't hesitate to reach out and ask.

There’s never been a better time to purchase an aircraft or upgrade your avionics. Whether you're eyeing a sleek glass panel, a smarter autopilot, or just want to get rid of outdated gauges, our experienced team can help bring your dream cockpit to life.

One of our based pilots recently upgraded to a G3X Touch, GTN 750Xi, GMA350C audio panel, GTX345 transponder, and GFC500 autopilot - and they couldn’t be happier with the results.

With over 50 years of combined experience, the Princeton Airport avionics shop handles everything from simple upgrades to full panel transformations. No job is too small to make a big impact.

Ready to get started? Contact Ken at 609-731-4628 (ken@princetonairport.com) or Jack at 609-658-6042 (jack@princetonairport.com). Let’s build the panel your airplane deserves.
