What people are saying

During my career in aviation I got to see the differences in quality and value offered in a variety of flight schools. Redbird always stood out to me for having excellent training focused on safety and student success. If I had to start my training all over again without a doubt I would choose redbird.

RFTA provides all their cadets with a great environment on ground and in air. I was proud to earn my wings and first stripe here under the guidance of my instructor, Grateful for my experience here.

I had a wonderful as well as exciting experience here at redbird flying training academy, every instructor here at redbird are very experienced and supportive. The training here is carried very smoothly and the aircrafts are modern as well as well maintained

My experience at Redbird has been invaluable. It’s been a pleasure to fly with supportive instructors that pay close attention to our progress and to find genuine friends in my peers. I couldn’t think of a better place to start my journey in aviation.
