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.

Find other ways to stay engaged and motivated. Even if you can’t fly due to bad weather, there are still plenty of ways you can stay focused and motivated. Consider reviewing your flight manuals and watching instructional videos, or find other ways to stay involved in the aviation community. The more you immerse yourself in the world of flying, the more motivated you will be to get back in the cockpit as soon as possible.

Bernards Story 1: I am a retired airline pilot, and I remember my days as a student pilot like it was yesterday. I was fascinated with flight from a young age and I knew that flying was my calling. I always dreamed of soaring through the skies and exploring the world from above. When I was in college, I took my first flying lesson, and I was hooked. The feeling of being in the air, and the thrill of maneuvering the aircraft was unlike anything I had ever experienced. I was determined to become a pilot, no matter what it took.
