Would highly recommend RaceCity 14A As a flight school and ground training!  This is a family owned and operated business/flight school/FBO that you will not find anywhere quite like it. I did the back-to-back weekend course for the PPL ground school/written test prep. Overall, I’m very pleased and feel like it  prepared me for both the test and an upcoming check ride. Patrick, Nicole, Josh and Kyle are amazing!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Race City Flight Operations is hands down the best flight school I have trained with. I have been to three different flight schools prior, and no one even comes close. Race City truly wants you to succeed. Their organization, knowledge, and attention to detail are the best I have ever seen. They have a clear structure and proven templates to follow that set you up for success instead of leaving you guessing. You always know what is expected and what the next step is. They also make you feel like part of their family, not just another student. Since switching to Race City, I have seen huge progress in both my flying skills and overall aviation knowledge. I honestly wish I would have started my training with them from day one. If you are serious about learning to fly and want a school that is fully invested in your success, this is the place to be. – Jacob
