Squadron 2FAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in San Jose, California
Squadron 2 is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 2655 Robert Fowler Way in San Jose, California 95148, under air agency certificate Q5ZS934K with location designator Q5ZS. The certificate holder's legal name is Squadron Acquisition Corporation; the FAA record carries the trading name Squadron 2. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. The address falls in the San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA metropolitan statistical area.
The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Reid-Hillview of Santa Clara County (KRHV), a towered field at 135 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. 2 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 Nice Air in San Jose, CA at under 0.1 miles, followed by Aerodynamic Aviation in San Jose at 0.1 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, (408) 648-6961, 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.
