About Us
We value high quality flight instruction over quick instruction. Race City Flight Operations works to improve, innovate, and make a better environment and training program for our students. Our goal is to help create great and safe pilots instead of using the minimums as the completion standards. We believe, if they are taught to be great pilots, they will be safe and competent pilots months and years after their training.
Race City Flight Operations has been recognized for its high standard of accomplishment in flight training by The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), the world’s largest aviation association. Race City Flight Operations has been awarded a spot on the Flight Training Experience Awards as a Distinguished Flight School, a title given to high scoring flight schools & instructors from the 2024 Flight Training Experience Survey.
The 2024 awards were drawn from flight students and pilots who voluntarily reviewed their flight training experience this past fall through an AOPA online customer satisfaction survey. The process yielded an evaluation of 780 different flight schools and 1,202 individual flight instructors.

Martha’s Inspiration: I started applying for jobs at airlines and was thrilled when I landed my first gig as a co-pilot. As I flew from city to city, I marveled at the beauty of the world from above and felt grateful for the opportunity to live out my dream. In the end, it was my desire for adventure and my yearning to see the world that set me on a new path to becoming a pilot. And now, as I soar through the skies, I am grateful for the journey that brought me here and excited for the adventures that lie ahead.

Bernards Story 2: I worked hard and saved every penny I could to pay for my flight training. It was a long and challenging journey, but I was passionate and driven. I spent countless hours in the cockpit, learning the ins and outs of flying, and practicing all the different procedures and techniques. One of the biggest challenges I faced was learning to trust my instincts and overcome my fears. Flying can be a daunting experience, and it requires a great deal of focus and confidence. However, as I gained experience and became more comfortable in the cockpit, I learned to trust my instincts and make quick decisions in the air.
