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: From that moment on, I was determined to become a pilot. I enrolled in flight school and dedicated myself to learning everything I could about aviation. I spent countless hours in the cockpit, practicing takeoffs and landings and mastering the intricacies of navigation and communication. Eventually, my hard work paid off, and I earned my pilot’s license.

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.

Don’t get discouraged. It’s natural to feel disappointed when your plans are disrupted by bad weather, but it’s important to keep things in perspective. Remember that weather is a temporary obstacle and it will eventually clear up. In the meantime, focus on the things you can control and stay motivated to achieve your goals. Every setback is an opportunity to learn and grow, and you will come out of this experience a stronger and more resilient pilot.
