One School, One Address

Areas We Serve

Students drive in to us from across the Sacramento region. Every lesson, every discovery flight and every checkride we prepare you for happens at Sacramento McClellan Airport (KMCC), 3028 Peacekeeper Way, McClellan Park, CA 95652 — so this page is about where that is relative to you.

Our Base

Where The School Is

When this page mentions Roseville or Elk Grove, it means students from those places train with us at McClellan. Here is where that is, and how the trip looks from each direction.

Sacramento McClellan Airport sits in McClellan Park, on the north side of the Sacramento metro, north-east of downtown. It is a former U.S. Air Force base, which is why the runway and the ramp are larger than what you would expect at a general aviation field. You enter McClellan Park from Watt Avenue and follow Peacekeeper Way to the main FBO entrance.

Practically, that puts us on the same side of the American River as the northern suburbs, so students from the north drive in without crossing the river or the city. From the south or east of the metro the trip does cross one or the other, which is worth knowing when you pick a lesson slot.

Who Drives Here

Neighbourhoods Our Students Come From

These are the parts of the Sacramento region we regularly train people from. They are not separate locations and they are not separate prices — the rate is $110 an hour, all in, wherever you drive in from.

North Sacramento — North Highlands, Antelope, Rio Linda, Elverta, Natomas

The closest neighbourhoods to the field. For most people living here the drive is short enough that a weekday lesson after work is realistic rather than aspirational, which matters more than it sounds: flying every week is what keeps training moving.

Citrus Heights and Carmichael

East of the field, on the north side of the American River. Citrus Heights has its own page because we get asked about it often enough to answer it properly.

Flight training for Citrus Heights

Roseville, Rocklin, Granite Bay and Loomis

Placer County, north-east of the field, and a straightforward run down that stays on the north side of the river. Placer County students tend to book early mornings or a repeating weekend slot.

Flight training for Roseville pilots

Sacramento, Arden-Arcade, Rancho Cordova, Folsom, Elk Grove and Davis

The city itself and the southern and eastern metro. Students come from all of these, often because we schedule the same instructor every lesson rather than whoever happens to be free — which is what keeps a certificate moving.

Scheduling Around The Drive

Fitting Lessons Around Your Week

All flying and ground instruction happens at our McClellan base, and the schedule is built to make that trip easy to repeat. We fly seven days a week from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, so early mornings, evenings and weekends are all bookable, and regular students hold a repeating slot. Weekends fill first, so claim one early. The office answers the phone Monday to Friday, 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

City Pages

A city gets its own page here when there is something specific to say about training from that direction. If you live somewhere not listed above and want to know whether the trip makes sense, call us and ask — that answer is better coming from a person.

The same, for Citrus Heights and Carmichael — including the practical advantage of being on the same side of the American River as the airport.

The Same First Step

Where To Start

Wherever you are driving from, the first step is the same for everyone: a discovery flight.

It is $200 for one passenger and $300 for two or three, about 45 minutes in the air and about 90 minutes at the airfield in total. You fly the aircraft yourself with an instructor beside you, and if you decide afterwards that flying is not for you, that is the end of it — nothing is signed on the day.
