Helistream IncFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Costa Mesa, California
Helistream Inc is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 3000 Airway Ave., Suite 350 in Costa Mesa, California 92626, under air agency certificate JMXS266F with location designator JMXS. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. The address falls in the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA metropolitan statistical area.
The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is John Wayne/Orange County (KSNA) at Santa Ana, a towered field at 56 ft elevation, 0.5 mile 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. 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 Orange County Flight Center Inc in Santa Ana, CA at 0.5 miles, followed by Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa at 1.8 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 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.
