Flight schools

One resident of Bay Bridge Airport is Trident Aircraft, a flight school that caters to all pilots. Trident Aircraft currently trains midshipmen from the nearby U.S. Naval Academy to prepare them for further training at the Pensacola Naval Air Station. The school took over this position from former Bay Bridge resident school Chesapeake ProFlight, when ProFlight ceased operations in November 2008 after failing to secure investors following the 2008 US Financial Crisis. The flight school employs multiple flight instructors and boasts a rental fleet of fixed-gear Cessna aircraft, a Piper Arrow, a twin-engine Beechcraft Duchess, a Super Decathlon for aerobatic and tailwheel training, and at least one Cirrus aircraft. Trident provides primary instruction through ATP, and is an authorized Cirrus training center.

Also operating out of Bay Bridge airport is Chesapeake Sport Pilot, which provides light sport instruction and light sport aircraft rental. The current fleet includes Tecnam Sierra, Tecnam Eaglet, Remos GX, Flight Design CT, and Sky Arrow aircraft.

A fixed-base operator (FBO) is an organization granted the right by an airport to operate at the airport and provide aeronautical services such as fueling, hangaring, tie-down and parking, aircraft rental, aircraft maintenance, flight instruction, and similar services. In common practice, an FBO is the primary provider of support services to general aviation operators at a public-use airport and is on land leased from the airport, or, in rare cases, adjacent property as a "through the fence operation". In many smaller airports serving general aviation in remote or modest communities, the town itself may provide fuel services and operate a basic FBO facility. Most FBOs doing business at airports of high to moderate traffic volume are non-governmental organizations, either privately or publicly held companies.
