Sterling Flight Training is home to students from all over the world. If you are interested in getting your pilot’s license in the US, then returning to your home country to pursue a career there, we can help.
We proudly offer FAA-approved training programs to help you get the instruction and cockpit time needed to get qualified and certified in your country of choice.
The first step is to make sure you meet the necessary immigration requirements mandated for training in the US. We are approved by the U.S. Government to enroll international students that qualify, and can assist you in obtaining your visa which is required before flight training begins.

 High-Quality Fleet: We offer a wide array of Piper and Cessna models for training, boasting modern technology and an in-house maintenance team. In addition to our fleet of aircraft, we offer flight simulators which can help keep training costs down and be used if weather conditions permit us from flying. |
 Weather & Flight Conditions: Jacksonville, Florida offers ideal training conditions and weather that allows flight year-round. Average temperatures range from 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit. When you are not flying, you are only minutes away from our beautiful beaches and fun in the sun. |
