...As
my Pilot Examiner told me when he gave me my FAA private pilot check
ride, “SunState Aviation just knows how to do it right.” For my money, that
is absolutely the case. I will definitely be back for more training
as soon as I am able to make it down for a reasonable block of time. You
folks are the best in the industry.

"I have never
flown such modern and excellently equipped aircraft, and it
was a real pleasure. I will definitely come back and fly
with you again in the near future."
Richard S." |
If you are
searching for an "academy" style training with classrooms full of uniformed
cadets on a direct path to the airlines, then we are probably NOT the
flight school for you. If however you are looking for a high quality
"one on one," focused flight training experience where the goal is
always to help you as an individual to achieve your personal aviation
related goals in the most cost and time efficient way possible, then you are
in the right place.
Top Ten
Reasons to Choose SunState Aviation Flight School
|
"Thanks for all your support
and encouragement, especially early on as I was making my decision to attend
Sunstate's accelerated Private Pilot program. I made the right choice."
Jim H. |
|
"I truly felt that the staff and instructors
went out of their way to assist me (to include working on their days off). I
will enthusiastically recommend SunState Aviation to any prospective student
I meet." David D. |
|
"Thank you very much for everything you
did for me. The school is professional yet still very personable. The
information presented on your web site was an honest account of the expected
costs and service provided. This is very commendable! Above all, my
instructor, Ricky was an incredible teacher, a superb pilot and I'm very
happy to consider him now a very good friend."
Ric Y. |
|
"What I didn't get done in 4 years, I did it in 8 days!"
Jason K. |
|
"Superb
training. The staff was great and I felt right at home. I came with very
demanding needs and you met them all. Joe was a great CFI and I definitely
couldn't have done it without him, but everyone was willing to help whenever
needed."
Eddy
F. |
| "My
instructor and the staff were outstanding and were a major factor in
my success in achieving my Private Pilot Certificate. I am extremely
happy with my choice and had a really good time."
Richard W. |
| "Thanks for your
welcome, the standard of your staff and aircraft were great and the
briefing and BFR work as well as the flying instruction that I
received from Ryan were first class.
Once again, keep up the
good work - you seem you have it dead right!"
Phillip M. |
| "A big thank you
to yourself and all at SunState. I was made to feel welcome by
everyone. The instructors impressed me: very professional and they
worked me hard! The aircraft were clean and fun to fly and I learned
a lot from the experience."
Alan O. |
| "I would like to
thank all of your staff for the friendship they showed me during my
stay, they all make Sunstate a place where it is a pleasure to fly,
concentrating on the students wishes instead of simply making a
profit."
Richard B. |
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 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, 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
Best
Airport - After much
research, we chose Orlando Florida's
Kissimmee
Gateway Airport as our home base. Reason?
Kissimmee Gateway Airport (ism) is an un-congested,
towered airport with multiple instrument approaches, located just minutes from
Orlando's major attractions and
Orlando International Airport. 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
reasonable prices.
VIII. Pilot Shop On Location
- For your convenience, we
have one of the largest selections of pilot supplies in central
Florida. Name brand
headsets, transceivers, intercoms, GPS,
charts and approach plates, books, training materials and much, much more all
at great prices.
IX. The Best Staff - The entire staff of SunState Aviation
Flight School are caring individuals who are
committed to making your
dreams of flying come true through exceptional
service and personal attention.
X. The Best Value - We guarantee you can find cheaper
pricing. But as the old saying goes, "you get what you pay
for." We believe you will find that SunState
Aviation Flight School offers the best value for accelerated
pilot training and aircraft
rental in the industry!
