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.

Student Pilot Struggles: Remember that challenges are a natural part of the learning process. No one becomes a pilot overnight – it takes hard work, dedication, and a willingness to overcome obstacles. Embrace the challenges that come your way and use them as opportunities to grow and learn. With every obstacle you overcome, you become a stronger and more capable pilot.

Martha’s Inspiration: I felt unfulfilled in my job: Despite having a stable and well-paying job, I found myself feeling unfulfilled and bored at work. I yearned for a career that challenged me and allowed me to grow both personally and professionally. Becoming a pilot represented a new and exciting career path that would allow me to push myself out of my comfort zone and achieve my dreams.
