Meet Our Fleet
The Cessna 172 Skyhawk has been the leading training aircraft around the world since the 1950s. With its integrated Garmin G1000 avionics suite, students are able to seamlessly advance into higher performance aircraft with minimal added cost.
Unlike other schools, Sierra Charlie Aviation utilizes just one type of aircraft, which allows students to focus on their training instead of learning different aircraft systems and avionics from flight-to-flight.
