Sierra Academy has a well-trained dispatch team which is responsible for confirming the flight schedule, dispatching the aircraft as required, coordinating with the maintenance department to maintain the aircraft, monitoring aircraft status, as well as refueling the aircraft in time. Sierra dispatch department works in shifts and provides services for flight training 7 days per week.

AVIONICS REPAIR STATION: The field of avionics involves the onboard electronic equipment needed to measure the speed, height and performance of an aircraft, as well as its navigation GPS equipment. When an aircraft is in need of avionics repairs, the aircraft will often be taken out of service for weeks or even months (depending on the type of repair needed), due to having to contact an outside service provider who is often servicing multiple other customers. However, because Sierra Academy has its own FAA certified PART 145 Repair Station, our flight school is able to make repairs and return aircraft to service in a relatively short time. This rare jewel for a flight school to have helps make Sierra Academy a more efficient and supportive operation for student pilots to succeed.

AIRCRAFT FUEL FARM: A fuel farm allows for the storage of a large amount of Aviation Gasoline (Av Gas), which enables our flight operations to continue without delay. Most flight schools rely on the services of an outside company which provides fuel to multiple customers, causing their students to wait longer to begin their flight. But at Sierra Academy, we operate our own fuel farm and fuel truck which provides service to each aircraft before take-off and upon landing; thereby, eliminating any delays for students to receive flight training.
