RTC is great, friendly and very accommodating!!!

Matthew Cropsey

Went to RTC for King Air 350 Recurrent training and had Eliseo for 3 days as our instructor. He was very knowledgeable on the aircraft systems and has real world experience flying them as a pilot. I appreciated his patience in teaching me procedures until they met the highest standards. If you are looking for good training for your aircraft I would definitely consider RTC.

Haroon Sayed

Great experience. Troy Short gave me excellent instruction, definitely became a better pilot by coming here! They tailor it to help your type of flying while going by ACS standards so it’s nice to not just be a number rather someone they want to be a better pilot and safe. Julio Otero was my TCE and examined me. He did everything by the book an and I never had to feel nervous he was very fair. 10/10 experience for my first type rating.

Don MacConkey

Initial type course at RTC was a perfectly paced experience. Our instructor Troy Short, was exceptional! Knowledgable, patient and top notch. In ground school focused on the vitals without losing sight of seeking understanding. Troy was absolutely amazing professional in the flight training lessons. Always clear, ready with perfectly timed critiques and adept at recognizing our strengths and shortcomings. Cannot b recommend the RTC facility and staff enough.

C421 Recurrent with Leo, July 2026. Best recurrent yet in 20 years of flying the 400 series.

Michael Sackman

I had an excellent training experience at RTC, during my Citation Ultra Initial course. The facility is well equipped and the simulators are in excellent condition. Extremely professional instructors and staff. Troy Short was my instructor for the majority of the training. His knowledge, professionalism and instruction were very valuable in ensuring we were prepared, not only for the final checkride, but for our careers going forward. The snack cart during the ground school portion was very welcome and an excellent touch! Thank you RTC!

Bob Zook

Great experience at RTC. Scheduling staff was proactive and listened to the customers. Instructors were knowledgeable, professional and helpful. Citation simulator is in great shape and realistic. Check ride was thorough and fair. I will be back next year.

RTC is the most professional training center. Instructors are professional, kind and supportive. Troy and Julio are the best Instructors ever! Daimely was patient with my decision for many months. Thanks to RTC for all the hard work and support.
