General Information
Our credentials speak for themselves and they include training at the levels
of Part 141 approved Private, Instrument, Commercial, Special Preparation
Course for King Air C-90, and Private Ground School Course-ATP. We are
one of the very few schools who offer training to all of these levels under
FAA Part 141 approval, and we include on top of this Glass Cockpit flying. I
would encourage prospective students to the field of aviation to ask other
schools what they provide and to what level before committing to any other
school for training.
Our facilities are located at a large airport in the Central Valley of California
at Stockton. We have a control tower with very low commercial airline
traffic, yet just enough to provide real hands on training for those who strive
to become safe and professional pilots. We are near major airports as
well, and these become part of the comprehensive training we provide our
students.
Our flight instructors are professional, and are trained to understand and
respect diversity in culture, and also learn that there is much more to
teaching aviation English than what the instructors may have learned in
flight school to teach aviation jargon, particularly to international students.
We train our trainers beyond their initial certificates.
Dream
Our syllabus and standard operational procedures were developed by our
own professional staff, and are not canned models purchased through
the Internet, or passed down from one generation of flight school owners
to the next with little attention to staying current in the field of aviation.
Our present administration and staff are professional and safe pilots and
instructors; most have been in the field of aviation for years; and they live
and breathe flying. We practice safe flying and do not compromise ourselves
or the safety of others for money, as we have witnessed in some areas of
the field.

Highly established training system
Ground class with powerpoint presentation
Proven Syllabus Centered Coursework
Well Organized Ground Classes
Our training is carried out with a well structured
syllabus. We understand what is needed at
every single stage for training participants
to safely and proficiently move them to the
next level in their training. To do this we have
established a day-by-day syllabus. This works
as guidance to our participants from the “zero
time” student to the professional commercial
pilot, in the most efficient and effective manner
possible. This plays a dual role. Our syllabus is a
powerful tool to lead our training participants to
be professional pilots in a timely manner while
taking into consideration budgetary restrictions.
We have designed this program to achieve
training goals in an efficient manner. Our staff
has significant experience using our syllabus
from the initial stages of training up through
the completion of the program established as
the goal by the student and airlines. The results
have been proven in the past by our staff and
students who are now professional commercial
pilots.
Safe piloting comes from not only proficient skills
but also by having flight knowledge. We believe
that well developed flight knowledge is a strong
foundation for an excellent pilot. JC Air Academy
has well organized ground classes to present
and teach essential knowledge to trainees.
Unfortunately, it is possible from some schools
to get pilot licenses with minimum knowledge
required by the FAA at this time, but having
systematical knowledge developed around a
flight environment, such as we provide at JC
Air Academy, makes our pilots more efficient
and safe and we go beyond the minimum
requirements of the FAA, unlike many other
schools.

JC Air Academy, Inc.
Our SOP is a vital tool that helps cultivate a
professional pilot. We believe that well organized
flight skills are strongly demanded of airline
pilots, and candidates are refined from their
initial stage up through their entire training
period with the Academy. JC Air Academy
is specialized in professional pilot training
and has developed, through knowledge and
experience, a high level SOP that extends from
single engine fleets to multi-engines, and the
more complex aircraft for both VFR and IFR
training. Our administration and professional
staff have significant experience and education
in professional pilot training and this valuable
experience and education is incorporated
into our SOP. We have a standardized training
program that produces uniformity in our school,
and thus produces high level education while
maintaining this quality throughout all of its
programs.

Training with advanced fleets
Flight training with glass cockpit (Cirrus SR-20)
Safety
Flying is safe, if we exercise necessary care
and have the proper training. But, we must not
overlook or ignore the possibilities of problems
during aircraft operations. We have two criteria
for choosing the safe training fleets we operate.
First, we operate the type of aircraft that are
proven safe over their years of use in aviation.
The Cessna 172R/SP is the main type of single
engine aircraft we have in our fleet, and the
Seminole is used for some of our multi engine
training. Both types of aircraft have been tested
and proven over the years.
Secondly, we operate fleets that have distinctive
features to enhance safety. The Cirrus SR-20 has
an emergency parachute to help save people
and the aircraft should an accident such as
engine failure occur. We want to have the safest
and most secure operations for our students,
and safety is always the priority in our training
programs.

Almost all airline fleets are operated with
“Glass Cockpit” systems. This state-of-theart instrument flying requires a new way of
developing mental techniques for pilots to get
proper situational awareness. JC Air Academy
conducts training with a fleet that has hightech systems using the Glass Cockpit. For our
single engine fleet, we operate Cirrus SR-20 that
utilizes Avidyne systems and Cessna 172SP’s
that have Garmin G1000 systems. Our training
participants get digital equipment experience
which will permit them to adapt to airline fleet
systems quickly once they finish all the training
courses.

Variety of Instrument Approaches
Available
Most professional flying is conducted under
instrument flight rules from takeoff to landing,
regardless of weather. There are 50 (fifty)
airports with instrument procedures in our
flight training area and 25 (twenty five) of them
provide precision instrument approaches. So,
our training participants can easily get plenty
of experience under instrument flight rules.
As we noted earlier, instrument flight skills are
essential for airline pilots, and our training
participants will receive hands-on skills, along
with their classroom education.
One of the World’s Most Complex and
Advanced Airspace
Moderate Climates
Weather around our training center is generally
mild year around, which benefits all phases of
our training. Storms are almost non-existent
during the spring, summer, and fall months, and
these seasons are adequate for Visual Flight
Rules (VFR) flight training due to high visibility
and little to no rain. During some winter months,
frontal systems may quickly pass through the
area, but this season gives us a chance to fly in
actual IFR conditions that allow us to skillfully
practice and develop our Instrument Flight Rules
(IFR) skills. Seldom are weather patterns present
that adversely affect the overall progress of
students in any phase of training.
Excellent flight training environment
Stockton Metropolitan Airport, where the JC
Air Academy is located, is 20 minutes by air
away from the San Francisco Bay Area where
one of the world’s most complex and advanced
airspace is located. Every trainee has the
opportunity to use the same air traffic control
systems that airline pilots use. The features
of this environment are advantageous for our
training center, especially for candidates for
airline pilot. And, due to the twenty minute
air distance away from the center of the San
Francisco Bay Area, we are safely separated
from the busy congestion of airliners. Our
training will be minimally delayed or affected
by their operations, if at all, but we can share
