I. Cessna Pilot Centers are The Best
- As a Cessna Pilot Center, we feature
Cessna's Computer Based Instruction (CBI)
system. The most advanced flight training syllabus and the only fully integrated
flight training syllabus in the industry. This FAA approved flight training syllabus has been proven to reduce
flight training time by as much as 20
hours or more compared to the national average of all flight schools for a typical Private Pilot
student, which makes it the best choice for an accelerated pilot
training syllabus. This same flight training software system is also available for advanced ratings
such as, Instrument Rating, Commercial Pilot and Multi-Engine
Ratings.
II. The Best Aircraft -
SunState Aviation Flight
School, an official
Cessna Pilot Center, offers accelerated
flight training for both single engine and multi-engine airplanes (and coming
soon - helicopter flight training), in clean, well maintained
Technically Advanced Aircraft, including the new
Cessna 172 SP (the safest aircraft in the
industry) with a full board of the latest
IFR certified avionics such as, GPS with
color moving map, multi-function display, color weather radar and
leather interior. SunState Aviation Flight School in Orlando is now
offering flight training in new Garmin G-1000 equipped Cessna 172SPs and
Cessna 182Ts.
III.
The Best Flight Instructors - SunState Aviation Flight School's certified flight instructors
are all highly experienced with an average of over 1,000 hours of flight
instruction given, and are
committed to providing the absolute highest quality flight instruction possible where safety
is paramount and a level of personal attention which is simply unmatched in
the industry.
IV. The
BestAirport - After much
research, we chose Orlando Florida's
Kissimmee
Gateway Airport as our home base. Reason?
KissimmeeGatewayAirport (ism) is an un-congested,
towered airport with multiple instrument approaches, located just minutes from
Orlando's major attractions, the Atlantic
Ocean beaches and
OrlandoInternationalAirport. We found that as much as 20 to 25 minutes of valuable
aircraft time is wasted during taxiing and waiting for departure at other,
more congested airports. This can add up to a significant waste of your
flight training dollars over the course of your accelerated flight
training course.
V. The Best Location - SunState
Aviation Flight School is
conveniently
located near Orlando just minutes from Interstate 4 and the Florida
Turnpike in
Kissimmee,
Florida. Home of some of the best flying
weather on the
planet!
VI. The Best Facilities - Our new, Orlando
Florida based state-of-the-art
flight training facilities are always clean and inviting. Our fully
computerized classroom facilities are comfortable and quiet. Simulator training is also a part of the
Instrument Rating curriculum in our
FAA certified flight simulator.
VII. Honesty and Integrity - Many flight schools advertise very attractive rates but then add on several "hidden
charges." At SunState Aviation Flight School, we have chosen to do
business honestly, and we never require full advanced payment for our
accelerated flight training courses. Check out our rates for
aircraft rental and
dual
flight instruction .
What you see is what you get! Quality products and exceptional service at

VIII. Pilot Shop On Location
- For your convenience, we

headsets, transceivers, intercoms, GPS,
