Pray Aviation IncFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Ozark, Alabama
Pray Aviation Inc is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 3269 S Hwy 231, Suite 117 in Ozark, Alabama 36360, under air agency certificate Z7GS366L with location designator Z71S. The same certificate covers 3 FAA-listed locations, so this page describes the Ozark site only; the 2 other locations are listed below. The address falls in the Ozark, AL micropolitan statistical area.
The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Ozark/Blackwell Field (71J), a non-towered field at 358 ft elevation, 0.3 miles from the school's listed address. The listed address is on or beside the airfield, which is the usual arrangement for a Part 141 operation flying from its own ramp. It is the only public-use airport within 10 miles of the address.
Within 100 miles the FAA lists at least five other Part 141 locations; the closest is Skywarrior Flight Training LLC in Troy, AL at 38 miles, followed by Longhorn Helicopters Inc in Marianna at 49 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 an agency phone number, (758) 650-3578, but no agency email or website for this location. 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.
