1.1 Philosophy
Our
institution's philosophy is to provide students with the best possible
opportunity to gain the knowledge, skills, experience, and judgement
required of a quality education in aviation. Our goal is to provide
the resources that will assist students in reaching their ultimate
potential of becoming a professional pilot and flight instructor.

1.2 History
Richmor
Aviation, Inc. began as the intuitive idea of two young aviators,
Mahlon W. Richards and Joseph Mormondo in 1968. A fixed based operation
began at Columbia County Airport in Hudson, New York in January
1968 and has since multiplied into four full-fledged fixed base
operator locations.
Columbia
County Airport is still the official home for Richmor Aviation,
Inc. and is presently the base operation for Richmor's air taxi
operation. A second operation began in August 1969 at the Saratoga
County airport in Ballston Spa, New York, and after 38 years has closed in December 2007. Saratoga was the base
operation for the 141 Flight School and home to our Chief Flight
Instructor, Thomas E. Miller. The largest of the flight school operations
is based at the Schenectady County Airport in Scotia, New York.
The Schenectady facility began in April 1975 and now trains an average
of 125 flight students annually and is supervised by the Flight
School Director, Richard T. Kaylor. The third base of operations
is located at the Dutchess County Airport in Wappinger Falls, New
York.
Richmor
Aviation first received their FAA approval as a Part 141 Flight
School in 1967. At almost the same time, approval was granted by
the New York State Education Department for the training of veterans
and other eligible persons under Title 38 U.S. code. The State Education
Department transferred the approval process for veterans and other
eligible persons over to the New York State Department of Veterans
Affairs, Bureau of Veterans Education under Title 38 U.S. Code,
Section 3676. Please Note: SCCC students will be expected to receive
their training at Richmor's Schenectady location. If other arrangements
are necessary, please contact the SCCC Coordinator's Office.
