Jacksonville State UniversityFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Jacksonville, Alabama

Jacksonville State University is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 700 Pelham Road North in Jacksonville, Alabama 36265, under air agency certificate J5US125M with location designator J5US. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. The address falls in the Anniston-Oxford, AL metropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Anniston Regional (KANB) at Anniston, a non-towered field at 612 ft elevation, 17 miles from the school's listed address. The listed address is 17 miles from that field, so it may be an administrative or campus address rather than the ramp; ask the school where its training aircraft are actually based. No public-use airport lies within 10 miles of the listed address.

Within 100 miles the FAA lists at least five other Part 141 locations; the closest is Phoenix East Aviation LLC in Kennesaw, GA at 68 miles, followed by Lagrange in Lagrange at 69 miles. Alabama has 11 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #20 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Tuscaloosa (2), Tuskegee (2) and Auburn (1). 1 of the Alabama entries has no dedicated page because the FAA record lacks a usable address.

The FAA record carries no agency phone, email or website for this location, so contact details have to come from the school directly. Certification under Part 141 means the FAA has approved the school's training course outlines, facilities and chief-instructor arrangements and inspects them; it is not a quality ranking, and it does not by itself mean the school is VA-approved for GI Bill funding or accredited for federal student aid.
