Epic Aviation, IncFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Tucson, Arizona
Epic Aviation, Inc is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 1840 E Valencia Rd, Suite 121 in Tucson, Arizona 85706, under air agency certificate EPXS700K with location designator 0090. The same certificate covers 14 FAA-listed locations, so this page describes the Tucson site only; the 11 other locations are listed below. The address falls in the Tucson, AZ metropolitan statistical area.
The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Tucson International (KTUS), a towered field at 2,643 ft elevation, 1.2 mile from the school's listed address. The listed address is 1.2 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 Cochise Community College in Douglas, AZ at 91 miles, followed by Arizona State University Dept of Aeronautical Tech in Mesa at 91 miles. Arizona has 22 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #8 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Mesa (8), Chandler (3) and Scottsdale (3).
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.
