What Our Students Say About Us
A DISCOVERY FLIGHT
A discovery flight is the first step into becoming a pilot. If you've ever been interested in flying an airplane, then this is your chance to be inside the cockpit on the controls. You'll be paired up with a certificated flight instructor and get clearance from the tower to taxi to the runway. Push the throttle forward and pull controls back to lift the plane from the ground.
Doing a discovery flight is the best way to determine if being a pilot is right for you. Whether you're trying it out for fun or want to fly professionally, doing a discovery flight will allow you to see the Ft. Lauderdale and Hollywood from a new perspective.

RECEIVE YOUR PILOT CERTIFICATE
Your private pilot certificate is the first major milestone in becoming a pilot. With a private pilot certificate, you are allowed to be the pilot in command and have the privilege of taking on passengers. To get the certificate, you will train consistently and pass a written exam, medical exam, and practical exam.
The team at Sun City Aviation Academy will guide you every step of the way. Right after your discovery flight, you'll work with a flight instructor where you'll have individualized training. You'll learn how to maneuver the airplane in the sky and eventually get your wings and have the training to fly solo. From there, we work on strengthening your piloting skills to be prepared for your checkride with a FAA designated pilot examiner. When you fly at Sun City, you're more than just a number. You're part of the Sun City family.
