Anyone hear of a flight school called Regional Airline Academy (RAA)?

 

Once you're able just do a search. In the meantime though, look at this...

Be careful with them. I used to teach there and overall the quality across the board is pretty bad. The arizona campus is a bad place to fly because of the summer months. By about 10 am each day you will be no fly due to temps, and it usually doesnt cool down until about 9 pm or so. The aircraft maintenance was questionable at best. An example of this was an aircraft that I maintenanced because the electric fuel pump was inop. The next day that same aircraft was returned to service, and the pump was still inop. Average times for the flight courses were much higher than quoted. It may have improved since I left there but I doubt it. Their aircraft are old (I flew a couple of them during my training at a university). While I never attended any training courses there I have found few people who actually enjoyed training there. If you have any other questions you can pm me.

 

From everything that I have heard, they are way overpriced. I wouldn't recommend the place.

 

RAA has a really cool website.

 

Don't go to ANY academy unless it begins with the words United States...
