Blue River Aviation LLCFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Palmer, Alaska

Blue River Aviation LLC is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 720 E Yukon Street in Palmer, Alaska 99645, under air agency certificate BRVS057M with location designator BRVS. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. The address falls in the Anchorage, AK metropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Warren "Bud" Woods Palmer Municipal (PAAQ), a non-towered field at 249 ft elevation, 0.4 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. 2 public-use airports sit within 10 miles of the address.

Within 100 miles the FAA lists at least five other Part 141 locations; the closest is Alaska Flight Academy in Wasilla, AK at 15 miles, followed by FLY8MA LLC in Big Lake at 29 miles. Alaska has 8 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #25 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Anchorage (5), Big Lake (1) and Palmer (1).

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.
