CFI Academy IncFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Acampo, California

CFI Academy Inc is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 23705 North Highway 99, Building 14 in Acampo, California 95220, under air agency certificate 6C7S984L with location designator 6C7S. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. The address falls in the Stockton-Lodi, CA metropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Lodi (1O3) at Lodi, a non-towered field at 60 ft elevation, 1.9 miles from the school's listed address. The listed address is 1.9 miles from that field, close enough that the aircraft are most likely based there, but confirm the training airport before comparing hourly rates. The Census geocoder could not match the FAA street address to a rooftop, so this distance is measured from the 95220 ZIP-code centroid and is approximate. 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 JC Air Academy Inc in Stockton, CA at 22 miles, followed by Eva Flight Training Academy in Mather at 25 miles. California has 64 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #3 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in San Jose (6), Long Beach (4) and Riverside (4). 1 of the California entries has no dedicated page because the FAA record lacks a usable address.

The FAA record carries an agency phone number, (916) 209-0234, and an agency email, admin@cfiacademy.com; 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.
