FLIGHT TRAINING
At RT Aviation, we believe that the foundation of flight is confidence. That is why we have designed our flight training programs to be individually tailored to your unique needs and circumstances. Whether you are considering becoming a sport pilot, private pilot or a veteran pilot continuing education, we have your ideal flight training program.
DISCOVERY FLIGHT
Committing to a flight training program can be a stressful decision. You may be concerned that you may relate with your instructor, the training aircraft may not be of quality, or you are paying more than what the training is worth. That is why we recommend to all our potential students to take a discovery flight with us. Engaging in a discovery flight will allow you to get to know our CFIs, our fleet, and interact with our staff.
What if I don’t want to become a pilot. Can I still schedule a discovery flight?
Of course! Anyone who wants to enjoy a personalized aviation experience is welcome to schedule a discovery flight.
What do I need to bring with me to my Discovery Flight?
Just show up and wear something comfortable.
PRIMARY FLIGHT INSTRUCTION
PRIVATE PILOT
The first step to gaining freedom in the sky is earning your Private Pilot License. We believe that each program is unique to the individual, so we encourage you to contact us to discuss your aviation goals and ask any questions you may have about becoming a pilot. That way, we can get to know you as an individual and work together to design a course perfectly tailored to you.
SPORT PILOT
Are you looking for a more affordable and accessible alternative to a Private Pilot License? Then a Sport Pilot License is perfect for you. Our program teaches you how to fly in half the time and for half the costs of the Private Pilot License option. To ensure the Sport Pilot License is right for you, we encourage you to contact us as soon as possible to discuss your aviation goals.

FLIGHT REVIEW
Are you looking to get back into the cockpit after some time off? The FAA requires that all active pilots complete a flight review with a CFI every 24 calendar months. That means if you have out of the skies for some time, it may be time for a Flight Review.
​
To learn more about our Flight Review process, contact us at your earliest convenience. One of our CFIs will gladly provide you with information on Flight Reviews and discuss your piloting experience to understand your status better. We also encourage you to visit AOPA’s The Pilot’s Guide to the Flight Review for detailed information about the Flight Review process.
