Nine Cessna 152s (four IFR-equipped). Two Cessna 172s. One Diamond DA-42 Twin Star. One Redbird MCX full-motion simulator.
Well-kept and maintained on-site at Long Beach Airport, scheduled online, available pay-as-you-go. Our main office has a large in-house maintenance facility attached, so most work happens here instead of getting shipped out. The first flight school at KLGB to transition our entire eligible fleet to environmentally conscious unleaded avgas. Every airframe on a strict maintenance cycle.
The primary trainer fleet. Two seats, one engine, exactly enough complexity to teach without overwhelming. Maintained on a strict cycle in our on-site shop, dispatched on a self-service online schedule, parked on the Aces High ramp. Tails: N6111Q, N53268, N4786P, N46393, N25914.
Four of the 152s are fitted out for instrument training. Dual Garmin G5s or GI-275 touch screens, Garmin GTN 650Xi touch-screen NAV/GPS, Garmin GNC 215 NAV/COMM, and Garmin GTX 345 ADS-B In/Out.

How We Keep It
Four standing rules
P · 01
Maintained on schedule.
Every airframe on a strict maintenance cycle. We do not run aircraft past hours. The fleet flies because we trust the fleet.
P · 02
Unleaded fleet.
The first flight school at Long Beach Airport to transition our entire eligible fleet to environmentally conscious unleaded avgas. Quietly, without making a slogan out of it.
P · 03
One CFI per primary.
One full-time instructor assigned per primary trainer aircraft. When your lesson is on the calendar, the airplane and the instructor are actually available.
P · 04
24 / 7 access.
Easy-to-use self-service scheduling online. Approved pilots fly seven days a week without membership fees or monthly dues.
