 OUR FLEET
 California Flight Academy operates a fleet of our own aircraft maintained by our own staff of professional, FAA certified mechanics. All aircraft are maintained at a standard that exceeds all FAA requirements and with an attention to detail beyond just looking for problems. In addition to safety inspections before and after every flight, our staff performs detailed mechanical inspections every fifty and one hundred hours to insure they are safe, reliable and fun to fly.

To eliminate lost training time due to grounded aircraft, maintenance inspections are scheduled in advance. Our maintenance facility is located on the airport, insuring that any unforeseen problems, however rare, are resolved in the shortest possible time.
All of our aircraft are treated with the same attention to detail you would expect if you owned it yourself.

CURRENT AIRCRAFT
 
Cessna 152Number in Fleet: 5
 
 Probably the single most popular training aircraft ever made, the venerable Cessna 152 continues to be the first aircraft most pilots learn to fly. Cessna first began production of it's two seat 150 series in 1957 culminating with the release of the 110 HP Lycoming powered 152 in 1978. More pilots have flown Cessna 150/152's than any other single model of airplane in the world. In the mid-eighties production of virtually all light aircraft halted amid liability concerns by U.S. aircraft manufacturers. CFA Cessna 152
 The last Model 152 rolled off the production line in 1985. Light, safe, extremely reliable and inexpensive to maintain and fly, The Cessna 152 continues to be the single most popular aircraft in flight schools around the world. Well over 75% of all original 152s are still flying today. 
 
Cessna 172Number in Fleet: 5
 
 Since it's first flight in 1955 the Cessna 172 virtually cornered the market on flexible, affordable 4 seat light aircraft and remains one of the most sought-after light aircraft on the market today. Designed as an affordable alternative to the Piper Warrior, it's inherent stability, high visibility and Cessna reliability has made it one of the most popular VFR and IFR training aircraft in the world, second only to Cessna's own 152. 
CFA Cessna 172
 The popularity and positive design of the four seater has not been lost to flight schools. More interior room, higher gross weight, higher load  and fuel capacity all make the 172 a nearly perfect training vehicle for cross country and IFR pilots. Or any pilot a little to tall or heavy to comfortably fly the 152.
 

Cessna Skyhawk SP

Number in Fleet: 2

 

 Newest in the 172 line, the Cessna Skyhawk builds on the knowledge and experience Cessna has gained in over 50 years of producing single engine light aircraft. Boasting advanced avionics, more horsepower and a host of technical innovations the SP could almost be considered a new design. Nevertheless, the SP retains the rock-solid reliability and inherent stability of the entire Cessna line and is one of the most outstanding example of a touring-class aircraft on the market today.

With their 180 HP, fuel injected engine, the 172SP is also one of the most comfortable aircraft in the world to fly.
