We are here to bring you the most pleasant and consistent flying experience available, anywhere.

Catering to the beginning and experienced pilot alike, Sundance is a friendly, professional, and affordable place to fly and train. We maintain a large fleet of aircraft, ranging from single engine trainers and high performance planes to multi-engine aircraft.

In August 2009, Sundance acquired Shoreline Flying Club and merged the two clubs' facilities and airplanes. We now offer one of the most comprehensive fleets of airplanes in the San Francisco bay area.

Sundance Flying Club offers flight training for single (ASEL) and multi-engine (AMEL) ratings in compliance with 14 CFR 61 requirements.

We specialize in time effective, graduated glass panel training using our Aspen Evolution equipped airplanes.
