The Cirrus Authorized Training Center at Pryor Field Regional Airport will run RRM's Flight School Marketing System to reach student pilots across North Alabama

Huntsville is full of executives and business owners who would rather fly to a meeting than lose a day driving to it. Rocket City can sell them a Cirrus, teach them to fly it and look after it.”

DECATUR, AL, UNITED STATES, November 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Rocket City Aviation Services, a Cirrus Authorized Training Center at Pryor Field Regional Airport (DCU) near Decatur, has partnered with Right Rudder Marketing to run the agency's full Flight School Marketing System. RRM built the company's new website, rocketcityaviation.com, and will spend the next 12 months bringing student pilots and Cirrus owners from Huntsville, Madison, Decatur and Athens to the school.

Co-Founder Myron Yoder started Rocket City in 2026 with Co-Founders Stephen and Courtney Walker, Cirrus owners who run businesses in the Huntsville area. Yoder has taught flying since 2010 and has been a Cirrus Standardized Instructor Pilot since 2014. He holds CFII, MEI and A&P certificates and has logged more than 6,000 hours, 5,000 of them giving dual instruction.

Chief Flight Instructor Sam Whatley, a CFII and Cirrus Standardized Instructor Pilot who has flown since 2009, leads training with Director of Operations Grant Meder. The school flies only Cirrus aircraft and trains in the SR20 G7+, which carries the Garmin Perspective Touch+ flight deck, Safe Return Autoland and the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System. Students train from private pilot through commercial, CFI and CFII, and owners can train in their own Cirrus through the transition course.

Training is one of four services under the same hangar roof. Rocket City also sells Cirrus aircraft, manages them for owners and provides professional pilots for owners who would rather ride in the cabin. Its Wingman Course teaches a regular right-seat passenger to handle the airplane and land it.

"Most of the people who call us aren't trying to become airline pilots. They want a faster way to see a client or get to the beach for the weekend, and a lot of them want to sit in a Cirrus before they decide anything. Courtney and I were Cirrus owners before we started this company, so we know that customer. We needed a partner who knows how to reach them," Walker said.

The Flight School Marketing System covers five components: website, search engine optimization, paid advertising, reputation and a CRM-backed sales process. With the website live, RRM's first 90 days focus on positioning, Google Business Profile improvements and ad campaigns aimed at prospective student pilots and Cirrus buyers around Huntsville. Later phases add location-based SEO, lead magnets, a video and photo media day and a six-month performance review.

RRM will track leads, discovery flight bookings, enrollments and cost per student, and meet with Rocket City leadership monthly to review results. The 12-month plan closes with a performance review and a strategy for year two.

"Huntsville is full of engineers, executives and business owners who would rather fly to a meeting than lose a day driving to it. Rocket City can sell them a Cirrus, teach them to fly it and look after it from one hangar at Pryor Field. Our job is to make sure that's who they find when they start looking," said Right Rudder Marketing founder and CEO Tim Jedrek.

Prospective students can book a discovery flight of about 30 minutes at rocketcityaviation.com or by calling 256-397-9665. Flight school owners can request a free Flight School Growth Audit at rightruddermarketing.com.
