The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Meadows Field (KBFL), a towered field at 510 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. 3 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 Above All Aviation in Santa Barbara, CA at 82 miles, followed by Channel Islands Aviation Inc in Camarillo at 85 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, (661) 615-5915, 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.
