About us

The Idea

ASA was created to help recently licensed pilots build flight hours easily. We use available C152s - planes that aren’t rented to schools and would otherwise stay grounded - to give you this opportunity.


The process is simple: you choose a base, go straight to the aircraft (which already has all the documents on board), and just fly.


We also have maintenance support ready to help with any issues, and a group of aerial work pilots who are always available to share advice and lend a hand.
