| Welcome to the Redstone Arsenal Flying Activity |
Aviators, the world over will tell you that there are two types of people in this world. Those who desire to fly and those that do not. If you are in the former category then you have more than likely had the desire since early childhood. Why not just do it?
Redstone Arsenal Flying Activity is northern Alabama's premier Flying Activity where those individuals fortunate enough to be in the authorized patron category can learn to fly or take their already hard earned rating to a higher level.
Redstone Arsenal Flying Activity offers safe, low cost flying lessons, professional Certified Flight Instructors, pilot related equipment and services to our patrons. The Redstone Arsenal Flying Activity is located on Redstone Arsenal adjacent to Huntsville/Madison Alabama. We have for our use a very low traffic 7300 foot runway and a manned control tower that is open Mon – Fri 1330Z - 2130Z except holidays, other times on request.
Our goal is to be our patron's First Choice, and to continue our journey to becoming a world class Flying Activity. We train the best pilots out there by providing them the best instructors, facilities and aircraft in one of the best training environments in the world. We ensure our graduates possess the skills, knowledge, and confidence necessary to fly and compete in the demanding and ever changing world of aviation.

High Altitude Chamber
Posted by FlyingActivity on: Monday 22 June @ 16:02:48 |
Attention members, Interested in advanced pilot training: Caroline Milts one of our members is organizing another trip to Columbus Air Force Base (CAFB) in Mississippi to participate in their FAA flight physiological training program. A few times per year, CAFB offers training sessions to civilian pilots so they can learn about flight physiological factors such as hypoxia, spatial disorientation and other effects. While it is not necessary to be a pilot to attend the training, an FAA medical certificate of any class is required to participate in the altitude chamber flight. Upon completion of the course, students receive a certificate noting that they have completed the FAA’s Physiological Training course.
