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.

Bernards Story 5: So, my advice to those of you who dream of flying is to never give up. Follow your passions, work hard, and always trust your instincts. Remember, the sky is the limit, and with determination and perseverance, you can achieve anything you set your mind to. So, spread your wings and soar, because you never know what amazing adventures await you in the skies. Discover your wings and follow your dreams, because the journey is worth it.

Sara’s Story: Sara had always dreamed of becoming a pilot. Ever since she was a little girl, she had been fascinated by the idea of soaring through the clouds and exploring the world from above. But as she began her training to become a student pilot, she quickly realized that the journey would not be easy. The first few flights were a blur of technical jargon and seemingly endless checklist procedures. Sara struggled to keep up with the pace of the training and often found herself feeling frustrated and overwhelmed. She began to doubt whether she was cut out for this demanding career path.
