Love the instructors. Prices are a little above market average. Availability of aircraft frequently…read morebecomes unavailable due to maintenance, weather, lack of and can get frustrating. Some ground lessons seem unnecessary. Update: I completed my Private Pilot License at TBA for approximately $40,000. Significantly higher than initial expectations. The school increased rates during training, including instructor fees (without corresponding instructor pay increases). During my commercial training using 50% GI Bill benefits, training was halted several months later due to billing disputes. TBA interpreted GI Bill reimbursement as 50% of every invoice up to eligibility limits, while their website policies suggested reimbursement "up to 50%" of total costs. This discrepancy created confusion over payment responsibilities. When I attempted to resolve the overdue balance in good faith, TBA threatened legal action. After I provided documentation showing billing errors, their legal team and leadership agreed to my original settlement offer, though this exceeded what I felt was warranted. Two years later, TBA refused to provide my Biennial Flight Review. I've since found more affordable alternatives for continuing aviation training. Bottom line: Expect higher costs than quoted and carefully review all billing policies before committing.

They are not very organized, I heard over and over that they have a lot of students I should expect…read moreairplanes to be in maintenance often. When I inquired about their maintenance record they would not share.

I was Sasha's first zero to hero primary student to private pilot in the US. If he can teach me how…read moreto fly that should be proof enough that he is a GOD among instructors! I now fly WWII aircraft including a mustang all over the country! Is there anything this man can't do? You owe it to yourself to fly with Sasha. If you are anywhere within a 50 state radius of Florida, get yourself to Seminole Lake ASAP and experience true flight!! Soar with the man, the myth, the legend: SASHA MARVIN. Overheard quote after an aerobatic flight: "This is better than sex AND peanut butter." Just look at the pictures, it must be true. Book a flight right now!! In fact, book all the flights.

From the owner: I do Glider Aerobatics Rides. This will be the most thrilling and breathtaking experience of all…read moreyour life. You will sit in the front seat of the aerobatic glider with the best visibility ever. You and the clouds. We'll be towed by an airplane high in the sky and then we'll begin our dance in the blue. There's no words to explain what you feel during a stall turn in a glider: no sound, no gravity. You go from heavenly moments to super action like in the loop or the barrel roll. Feel like an astronaut in the long zero gravity curve and feel the G force of a combat pilot in a fighter. All this in the Florida skies, above the lakes and the green swamps, just 14 miles west of Disney. Bring your GoPro or use ours. You'll want to share this with your friends! I also do Glider Aerobatics Training, from Basic to Unlimited. And i teach Unusual Attitudes and Spin Training to glider pilots.

country. After multiple flight schools, I walked in November 28th to right rudder, several hours…read moreinto training, but no clear end in sight. I met Tommy Soto, who advised me he was well versed with the sport pilot curriculum, my goal(sport pilots license) and could get me across the finish line. Logistically I am a hard customer to train, living over 2 hours away and only being able to train on weekends. Tommy advised me he could help. I took the leap of faith, and started training the next weekend. I figured from previous instruction that I had several months ahead of me. Tommy is not your run of the pilot that you are building hours for, he is a true educator and is efficient in finding and quickly correcting what needs work. In less than 2 months in a new aircraft I have passed a sport pilot check ride. I was asked during the exam why I drive so far, I answered good instruction is worth the drive, I would drive 10 hours to train with this organization, they have it down to a science, and affordability that anyone with any schedule can do it. I cannot recommend Tommy and all of RRA enough, true professionals, stuck and rudder purists, and welcoming to anyone that just wants to fly!

I attempted to get flight training information from this organization and sent them an email to…read moretheir info@rra.com email address and by sending the same request through their website. I have not received any response from them. I do not have confidence in an organization that ignores requests for information.
