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.
