Who We Are
Merlin Flight Training has trained pilots at Northeast Philadelphia Airport for years. Merlin Aerial Media extends that same precision and safety-first mindset into unmanned aviation.
Our Story
Merlin Flight Training started as a one-on-one flight school at Northeast Philadelphia Airport (KPNE), built around the idea that real instruction beats generic courses. Students fly with an instructor who knows their name, their goals, and exactly where they're struggling.
As demand grew for aerial photography, inspections, and commercial drone work across the Philadelphia region, we launched Merlin Aerial Media — bringing the same FAA-certified rigor and hands-on teaching style to unmanned aviation.
What We Stand For
Every flight follows FAA regulations and a strict pre-flight checklist. No shortcuts, ever.
Same exacting standards Merlin built its flight school reputation on, applied to every drone mission.
Based at Northeast Philadelphia Airport (KPNE), serving the city and surrounding counties we know well.
1-on-1 teaching, not a video course. You fly with an instructor next to you from day one.
