At Sierra Charlie Aviation, you can earn your private pilot certificate as well as the instrument rating and commercial pilot certificate. All of this lasts a total of 250 training hours and can take as little as eight full-time months. If you already have your PPL, you can jump into the program at a later stage.
The aviation school offers both ground school and flight training with its team of experienced pilots. To complete the full training, the costs are close to $99,000 with financial aid opportunities.
All your training will be in a Cessna 172 Skyhawk, so you’ll have more flying time as there is less time taken up learning about different aircraft. Sierra Charlie Aviation also has access to a flight simulator to continue your flying practice on the ground. There are also multimedia classrooms at the facility for in-classroom training.
Sierra Charlie Aviation runs its training out of its Chandler, Arizona location. From here, you can fly over stunning desert landscapes. It also has a location in Scottsdale, where it maintains a maintenance headquarters and administrative offices.
The expert staff is always there to support students along their journey, with one-on-one coaching available.
