TM40 Aerial Ace is located in the bottom-left corner of the Airport runway in Mistralton City. But before you’re able to reach Mistralton City, you’ll need to defeat Gym Leader Clay in Driftveil City, and also make it through Chargestone Cave.
The TM also won’t appear at the Airport runway until you’ve beaten Mistralton’s Gym Leader Skyla and received the Jet Badge.
After defeating Skyla, an NPC in a house north of the Pokémon Center will reveal the location of Aerial Ace.
As for the move itself: Aerial Ace is a Flying-type move that deals damage at 60 base power. The attack bypasses accuracy checks and is guaranteed to hit in nearly all battle situations.

Step 1: Starting at the Mistralton City Pokémon Center, head North on the path going above the Pokémon Center.

Step 2: At the top of the path, enter the house directly north of the Pokémon Center.

Step 4: After speaking to the NPC, leave the house and head left towards the Airport runway.

Step 5: Continue left towards the far end of the Airport runway.

Step 6: Once you’ve reached the fence at the opposite end of the runway, head south.

TM40 Aerial Ace is a Physical Flying-type move that deals damage at 60 base power. While it isn’t the most powerful move, Aerial Ace is guaranteed to hit your target, unless they are using a semi-invulnerable move like Dig or Fly.
Aerial Ace also has value in its versatility, as some non-Flying-type Pokémon can learn the move, creating type advantages.
Pair it with a Pokémon like Krookodile to turn the tide against Fighting-type opponents.
