Tuskegee UniversityFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Tuskegee, Alabama

Tuskegee University is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 1200 W. Montgomery Road, 324 Chappie James Research Center in Tuskegee, Alabama 36088, under air agency certificate TUNS100M with location designator TUNS. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. The address falls in the Auburn-Opelika, AL metropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Moton Field Municipal (06A), a non-towered field at 264 ft elevation, 2.7 miles from the school's listed address. The listed address is 2.7 miles from that field, close enough that the aircraft are most likely based there, but confirm the training airport before comparing hourly rates. 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 Leadership in Flight Training LLC in Tuskegee, AL at 3.2 miles, followed by Na in Auburn at 20 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, (334) 727-8950, and an agency email, tsanders@tuskegee.edu; it carries no website, so the contact details above are the only ones the FAA publishes 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.
