✈️ What to Expect on Your Demo Flight
A demo flight is the perfect way to experience what it’s really like to train as a pilot. It’s hands-on, immersive, and gives you a chance to check out the aircraft, instructors, and facilities here at Aces High Aviation.
Here’s what you’ll do during your demo:
Learn how to preflight the aircraft with your instructor
Get a quick intro to the primary flight instruments
Listen in on live air traffic control as you taxi to the runway
Once in the air, you’ll be guided through the basic flight controls
You’ll get as much control of the aircraft as your instructor feels you’re ready for
Fly out over the ocean towards the Long Beach harbor practice area
Try a few simple maneuvers before returning for landing at Long Beach Airport
The entire experience typically lasts around 1 hour and 45 minutes from start to finish.
This is more than just a flight — it’s your first real lesson and a true glimpse into what flight training is all about.
