HOVA Flight Services

Heart Of Virginia Aviation Inc. (HOVA) has been a full-service, Fixed Based Operator since 1992 with locations in Virginia and Florida. Our principal business has been based at the Hanover County Airport since June 2004. We have FAA approvals as a Part 141 Flight School, and Part 145 (limited Repair Station – Avionics); we are the flight training affiliate for Liberty University’s online aviation degree in the Richmond area and able to offer nine fully Veteran Administration Approved flight courses. We are also dealers for most of the major avionics manufacturers including Garmin. We are one of the busiest schools offering multi- engine add-ons in the country attracting customers from everywhere in the US, including places like Alaska, California, Hawaii, Florida, Texas, etc. We specialize in a full range of accelerated courses from Sport Pilot through ATP completion and frequently pick up customers who have been at multiple other flight schools without completion. In April 2022, all of our transient operations moved into a brand-new, purpose built terminal on the east side of the field supported by a new 15,000 square foot hangar. We have a full maintenance shop supporting our growing flight training fleet along with business from external customers and have moved into offering full aircraft refurbishment. Part of the work is handled in our high quality paint shop at our Florida location. We try and put ourselves in the shoes of our customers to get the job completed safely, on time, and on budget. Our employees are our strength and come from a wide variety of backgrounds with many of them having served their country with dedication and pride. While growth is important, we never want to lose the personal relationship that, as a small business, we have been able to develop over multiple decades.
