Gosh, I can’t say enough good things about Riverside Flight Center! I am so extremely grateful to them… They helped me out so much! They were very efficient in the time that it took me to go from 0 to 250 hours with a multi engine instrument rating. Their instruction was very thorough and efficient! After spending a year and a half time building, I am now a captain on medevac King Air. I am reminded daily of the lessons that I went through while at Riverside Flight Center! I am so extremely grateful at how thorough they were, in not only teaching me how to be a pilot, but also preparing me for the challenges that come with taking on an exciting career as a professional pilot. Every single one of my instructors was very professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. I started flying only three years ago, and now I am making a living doing what I love! I feel so extremely blessed that I found this wonderful flight school. I know there are many choices in flight schools, not only is their training program incredible, but so many of my fellow pilots finished their flight programs with tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt… With Riverside Flight Center‘s program, it was very economical and I was able to finish my ratings and licenses at a fraction of the cost of many of my coworkers who are still trying to pay off loans. Thank you everybody! You guys are a great team, and I am very grateful for all of the help and encouragement that you gave me and continued support.

RFC is the place to be! Through my 8+ years at the school, from 14 year old student pilot to 22 year old CFI working for them, I have witnessed the school go through changes, grow, and push through hard times with determination. The smooth operation of the school would not be possible without the hard work from the instructors, assistant chiefs, chiefs, and administration. Pilot training is difficult. As it should be! I wanted to point this out because a common complaint among reviewers of flight schools is that the school is too hard, or the standards are too high. In my position now, a First Officer at a large regional airline flying the Embraer 175, I can say that RFC adequately prepared me to attend airline training after getting my certificates, and teaching at the school for 2 years. Your training does not stop when you are a certified commercial pilot, it is only the beginning. Another very common complaint among all flight school’s reviews is that they say, “I finished with more hours than advertised because they wanted more money out of me”. I can say with utmost certainty that the RFC does NOT take advantage of students for hours/money. Coming from someone that was on the inside of operations, we had standards and timelines built for our students that ensured that they got through the program in the most economical, most safe, and least amount of time. If they finished with excess hours it was THEIR doing by not meeting the standards of airmanship that is set by the FAA. I learned so much from my time instructing. How to communicate effectively, how to motivate, how to use teamwork and cooperation to achieve a common goal, how to make important and timely decisions with a high regard for safety, and so much more! I am so proud of all I have done, and the chance to share my love of flying with everyone I have worked with has been amazing. I am a proud graduate of the school, and instructor thereafter. If you are looking for a flight school that will keep you safe, and challenge you to become the best pilot you can be, look no further!

I completed the professional flight training program on 2021, and I’ll always be thankful for everything I learned there. I had amazing instructors who supported me through hard times due to the pandemic (while being away from home), and the most important is that They thought me a lot of things (Thank u Nathe, Shad, and Mr Will🤘🏻). Also, I made friends from different countries that will always be in my heart. Riverside Flight Center will provide you with the appropriate training to have a successful carrier.🛫

Went on a discovery flight today with Zack couldn’t of had a better time. He was super cool and made the whole thing much more enjoyable. RFC is high on my list for potential flight schools, seems reasonably priced unlike other established flights schools.

I felt compelled to give a review after visiting Riverside Flight and meeting the owner Yuri. First, I should tell you that my wife had purchased a flight for our son and when she told me I went to their website and read some reviews. I can say emphatically that any negative reviews are unfounded! Yuri spent some time with my wife and myself and later with our son after his flight to give us a tour and explain how his business runs. I can say that Yuri is passionate about his students (see attached photo). This wall of photos are of past students for which he had a story about each one. There was a man and son who had just taken a flight and the man had gone through training years ago and it was really enjoyable to hear Yuri and this man discuss some of the guys on the wall (one of which was his picture from many years ago). I know this is a long post, however I have my own business and know that even the best business owner's can't meet the unreasonable demands of some customers as well as some customers completely fabricate the truth. Again, Yuri is the epitome of a passionate, professional, caring and customer first business owner! Go check them out and I'm confident you'll agree!!!
