GET TO KNOW THE SCHOOL
A closer look.
Riverside Flight Academy publishes airplane training from private and instrument through commercial, multiengine and instructor qualifications, together with ATP flight preparation. Its fleet page identifies Cessna 172s, a Piper PA28R-200 Arrow and Tecnam P2006T twins. Classroom and online ground school are supplemented by a private-pilot video library. The school describes an associate-degree professional-pilot partnership with San Bernardino Valley College. Separate accelerated commercial multiengine and ATP packages are offered with AnyWhereATP, using the Tecnam and arranging an examiner appointment while billing the examiner separately.

TRAINING FIT
Our school review.
Riverside may fit students looking for a connected certificate sequence, online study support and a named multiengine platform. Compare the independent course with the college-linked route, then check which costs and admissions requirements differ. ATP flight training should be distinguished from prerequisite ATP-CTP and knowledge-test preparation; the published package does not establish that all are included. The accelerated twin programs have flight-hour allowances and additional-hour charges, so request a proficiency assessment and current examiner schedule before travel.
