High Tide Aviation recognized for flight training excellence by national association

High Tide Aviation has been recognized for its high standard of accomplishment in flight training by The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), the world’s largest aviation association.

High Tide Aviation has been awarded a spot on the Flight Training Experience Awards as a Distinguished Flight School, a title given to high scoring flight training providers from the 2026 Flight Training Experience Awards.

The Flight Training Experience Awards was created to highlight the best flight training the industry has to offer.

This year customers highlighted an optimal combination of well-run training programs and a warm and welcoming atmosphere. This year’s winners have demonstrated this enviable quality in their flight training operations to the highest degree.

— Chris Moser, AOPA Foundation Sr. Director Flight Training Education.

The 2026 awards were drawn from flight students and pilots who voluntarily reviewed their flight training experience this past fall through an AOPA online customer feedback process.
