Sterling Flight Training, a leading Part 141 flight school based in Jacksonville, Florida, United States, proudly announces its expansion to Tallahassee with the successful acquisition of Florida Aviation Training Center. This strategic move marks a significant milestone in Sterling Flight Training’s commitment to providing unparalleled aviation education and training opportunities, and expansion of its career pilot training programs and partnerships with Liberty University and Purdue Global University.

With FAA satellite approval in the pipeline for Part 141 operations, Sterling Flight Training is poised to bring an array of comprehensive training programs to Tallahassee. This expansion represents a commitment to fostering growth and providing enhanced learning experiences for students.

The Jacksonville campus provides FAA- and Florida VA-approved flight training courses and programs to equip its students with all the necessary licenses, ratings and certifications to begin their aviation careers while providing access to the most current training materials and methods.
