Pacific States Aviation, IncFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Concord, California
Pacific States Aviation, Inc is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 51 John Glenn Drive in Concord, California 94520, under air agency certificate CPFS948C with location designator CPFS. 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 Buchanan Field (KCCR), a towered field at 26 ft elevation, 0.4 miles 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 California Airways, LLC in Hayward, CA at 22 miles, followed by Discovery Aviation Inc in Discovery Bay at 26 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, (925) 685-4400, and an agency email, cs@psa.aero; 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.
