Our Location

Situated in the San Francisco Bay area, Concord's Buchanan Field (KCCR) experiences truly enjoyable flying weather and an abundance of nearby towered and non-towered airports. If you're staying with us from out of town, you'll soon discover the city of Concord's many amenities. From great food to excellent shopping and parks, Concord has nearly everything you'll need—including a BART Station, should you wish to travel to and from San Francisco. With so much going for it—including nearly 300 days of sunshine per year—it's no surprise Buchanan Field is a favorite airport for Bay Area pilots.

Learn to Fly

Learning to fly is less expensive than you might think, and at Sterling Flight Training Center you can set your own pace. If you fly often, you’ll earn your certificate in just a few months and soon be flying aircraft solo! Or, you can take your time. One thing you'll learn is that we love aviation and want to share our passion. We know that no two students are alike. Our instructors will work closely with you to find the best methods for your learning.

And though you'll start with ground school, you can begin flying with your instructor right away. Note that once you've earned your pilot certificate, there's no need to own a plane. Aircraft rentals and flying clubs are available nationwide.
