Wallace State Community CollegeFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Vinemont, Alabama

Wallace State Community College is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 231A County Road 1360 in Vinemont, Alabama 35179, under air agency certificate IM8S221Q with location designator IM8S. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. The address falls in the Cullman, AL micropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Cullman Regional/Folsom Field (KCMD) at Cullman, a non-towered field at 970 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 4 other Part 141 locations; the closest is Sanders Flight Training Center Inc in Jasper, AL at 35 miles, followed by Jacksonville State University in Jacksonville at 70 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, (256) 737-3040, and an agency email, bert.mackentepe@adjunct.wallacestate.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.
