Ozarka CollegeFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Melborne, Arkansas

Ozarka College is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 524A Airport Road in Melborne, Arkansas 72556, under air agency certificate 8OZS312L with location designator 8OZS. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Melbourne Municipal/John E Miller Field (42A) at Melbourne, a non-towered field at 735 ft elevation, 8.8 miles from the school's listed address. The listed address is 8.8 miles from that field, so it may be an administrative or campus address rather than the ramp; ask the school where its training aircraft are actually based. The Census geocoder could not match the FAA street address to a rooftop, so this distance is measured from the 72556 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 2 other Part 141 locations; the closest is Central Flying Service LLC in Conway, AR at 69 miles, followed by Central Flying Academy, LLC in Little Rock at 90 miles. Arkansas has 4 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #37 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Arkadelphia (1), Conway (1) and Little Rock (1).

The FAA record carries an agency phone number, (870) 368-2391, and an agency email, john.catlett@ozarka.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.
