Sanders Flight Training Center IncFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Tuscaloosa, Alabama

Sanders Flight Training Center Inc is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 7504 Robert Cardinal Airort Rd in Tuscaloosa, Alabama 35401, under air agency certificate 5F2S974L with location designator 0056. The same certificate covers 3 FAA-listed locations, so this page describes the Tuscaloosa site only; the 2 other locations are listed below. The address falls in the Tuscaloosa, AL metropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Tuscaloosa NTL (KTCL), a towered field at 170 ft elevation, 2.9 miles from the school's listed address. The listed address is 2.9 miles from that field, close enough that the aircraft are most likely based there, but confirm the training airport before comparing hourly rates. The Census geocoder could not match the FAA street address to a rooftop, so this distance is measured from the 35401 ZIP-code centroid and is approximate. It is the only public-use airport within 10 miles of the address.

Within 100 miles the FAA lists 3 other Part 141 locations; the closest is Epic Aviation, Inc in Tuscaloosa, AL at 2.9 miles, followed by Sanders Flight Training Center Inc in Jasper at 55 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.
