Briefing 02 · Aircraft on the ramp

The fleet,
in detail.

Nine Cessna 152s (four IFR-equipped). Three 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 flagship. A 2007 Diamond DA-42 Twin Star with two FADEC diesel engines, single-lever power and a full Garmin G1000 glass panel, the same avionics as our C172 G1000 and the Redbird simulator, so you can learn the panel on the ground before you fly it. Cruises in excess of 170 knots. Stable and forgiving, with honest single-engine manners, which is exactly what you want for Vmc work and engine-out practice. Reserved for multi-engine training. Most add-on students finish the multi-engine rating in 10 to 15 hours, or in five days on our accelerated course. Multi-engine instructors on staff at $100/hr.

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.
