Arapahoe Flight Club LLCFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Colorado Springs, Colorado
Arapahoe Flight Club LLC is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 1430 Aviation Way in Colorado Springs, Colorado 80916, under air agency certificate AHFS072M with location designator AHFS. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. The address falls in the Colorado Springs, CO metropolitan statistical area.
The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is City of Colorado Springs Municipal (KCOS), a towered field at 6,187 ft elevation, 1.3 mile from the school's listed address. The listed address is 1.3 miles from that field, close enough that the aircraft are most likely based there, but confirm the training airport before comparing hourly rates. 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 Rocky Mountain Ussf Flight Training Center in Peterson Afb, CO at 1.4 miles, followed by U S A F Academy Aero Club in Usafa at 12 miles. Colorado has 18 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #10 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Broomfield (2), Grand Junction (2) and Loveland (2).
The FAA record carries an agency phone number, (719) 375-0634, 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.
