Come Visit our State of the Art Training Facility and New Cessna Training Aircraft
SunState Aviation was founded in the Spring of 2002 when owner & founder, Steve Graham, saw a need for a quality flight training center which would both serve the needs of local student pilots & abroad. SunState started with only one airplane and about 500 sq. ft. of rented space; now, fast forward to almost twenty years later & SunState has grown into a 16,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art training center with a fleet of 10 training aircraft.

Our Flight Training Programs

Accelerated Training
SunState Aviation’s accelerated flight training program is hands-down the most cost and time efficient way for you to train for a pilot license or an instrument rating.

Private Pilot Training
Your private pilot license will be one of the most exciting courses you ever complete. I use an example of learning to drive a vehicle and how exciting that was. However, you were a passenger in the vehicle for years prior to learning to drive. Most of us were never in an airplane prior to learning to fly. Now, sit back, you are cleared for take-off!

Instrument Training
You planned a great trip to an exciting destination—but travel day turned up overcast and drizzly. You canceled because of weather, again—if only you had your Instrument rating.

Commercial Training
Even if it’s not your career goal to be a professional pilot, the skills you will learn in earning your Commercial Pilot Certificate will make you a more skilled and capable pilot. This training course will teach you the substantial skills and knowledge you need to be certified by the FAA to carry passengers and cargo for hire.

Multi Engine Training
Our multi-engine add-on course is designed to equip FAA certificated pilots with all of the skills essential for safe operation of multi-engine aircraft. The course features King Schools’ Integrated Flight Training system utilizing the King Interactive multimedia Computer-Based Instruction system. Upon successful completion you will have a multi-engine rating with instrument privileges.

Flight Instructor Training
Teaching someone else to fly can be one of the most rewarding jobs on the planet!

Sunstate Aviation Flight School is a Cessna Pilot Center

Cessna Aircraft Company has minimum standards for a location to become a Cessna Pilot Center. These include the use of new Cessna training aircraft, but also expands in the operation, maintenance, safety, flight school facility and more.
