Our Training Fleet

Your aircraft choice should support your training goal, your body fit, and your learning pace. Magnolia operates a 7-aircraft fleet across Atlanta (KLZU) and Memphis (2M8), with RV-12iS aircraft and Cessna 172s used for structured flight training.

Start in a modern light sport trainer built for focus

The Van's RV-12iS gives you clear sightlines, nimble control feel, and Garmin glass cockpit training in a 2-seat platform. If your goal is to build disciplined habits early, this aircraft keeps the lesson simple: fly precisely, understand what you see, and stay ahead of the airplane.

Train in the four-seat aircraft many pilots already trust

The Cessna 172 gives you room, stability, and a proven training platform for Private, Instrument, Commercial, and professional pilot training. It is also the better fit when you need a larger aircraft profile during your academy path.
