Griffin is the county seat of Spalding County, just south of Henry County, where Speedway Flight Training is based at Atlanta Speedway Airport (KHMP). If you already fly, the question is usually which rating comes next and where you can train for it efficiently.
Our Cessna 172s are IFR-certified and equipped with dual Garmin G5 displays and the Garmin 650Xi, with GFC 500 autopilot in select aircraft. That setup supports instrument approaches, cross-country navigation, and checkride preparation. For current pilots, we also offer Instrument Proficiency Checks and Biennial Flight Reviews.

I completed my spin Training here at Speedway Flight Training and was extremely impressed with the school. My instructor, Josh, was a great teacher who prioritized the development of my skills. Every instructor I got to talk to was nice and helpful.
