The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Van Nuys (KVNY), a towered field at 802 ft elevation, 0.7 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. 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 Corsair Aviation LLC in Van Nuys, CA at under 0.1 miles, followed by Mach 1 Aviation Inc in Van Nuys at 0.9 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.
