Discovery Aviation IncFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Discovery Bay, California

Discovery Aviation Inc is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 5612 Drakes Drive in Discovery Bay, California 94505, under air agency certificate FT3S081M with location designator FT3S. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. The address falls in the San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, CA metropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Byron (C83) at Byron, a non-towered field at 79 ft elevation, 5.7 miles from the school's listed address. The listed address is 5.7 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. 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 JC Air Academy Inc in Stockton, CA at 11 miles, followed by Skyview Flight Academy in Tracy at 17 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, (650) 441-0030, but no agency email or website 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.
