About · Long Beach

Built by pilots who wanted flight training done right.

I started flying in 2008 and saw a lack of quality in flight schools, so I decided to start my own and do it right.

Our story

Jason Jeffery started flying in 2008, saw a lack of quality in flight schools, and started his own to do it right.

We at Pacific Air Flight School have devoted our lives to aviation. From ferrying to flight instruction to the airlines, the many kinds of flying we’ve done have made us professionals when it comes to flight training. We started Pacific Air in 2017 after working for several flight schools and realizing that many students weren’t getting what they signed up for.

We’ve put our effort into an easy learning system that helps students absorb everything their training requires. Whether it’s the basics of a private pilot certificate or the systems of a regional jet, popular mnemonics, memory aids and clear diagrams make tough material easier than you’d expect — and every course is taught one-on-one, around your schedule.

We take pride in a professional, reliable training environment where students make consistent progress toward becoming safe, confident pilots: clean, well-maintained aircraft, instructors who care about each student, and checklists and procedures that mirror industry standards.
