Questions

Questions about the fleet

Something else about the airplane? Call 866-600-9595.

What aircraft will I train in?

A Cessna 172. Our fleet has four 172s with Garmin G1000 glass cockpits and five 172P and 172N models with traditional instruments, several upgraded with Garmin G5s and modern GPS. Our instructors are rated in all of them and will help you pick the one best suited to you.

How many aircraft do you have, and will I always get one?

Nine — all Cessna 172s, based at Long Beach Airport. Flight operations run 24/7, and lessons are scheduled with your instructor around your availability.

Will I train in the same airplane every lesson?

Not necessarily, and you don’t need to: every airplane in the fleet is a Cessna 172, and our instructors are rated in all of them. If you want to learn on a Garmin G1000 glass cockpit or on traditional gauges, tell us and we’ll plan around it.

Do the aircraft have glass cockpits or steam gauges?

Both. Four of our Cessna 172s have the industry-standard Garmin G1000 glass cockpit with an autopilot, and five have traditional steam-gauge panels — several upgraded with Garmin G5 displays and GPS such as the GTN 650 and GNX 375.
