Colorado Mesa University TechFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Grand Junction, Colorado

Colorado Mesa University Tech is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 782 Heritage Way #2, Grand Junction Regional Airport in Grand Junction, Colorado 81506, under air agency certificate 6WCS952L with location designator 2W0S. The same certificate covers 2 FAA-listed locations, so this page describes the Grand Junction site only; the 1 other location is listed below. The address falls in the Grand Junction, CO metropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Grand Junction Regional (KGJT), a towered field at 4,861 ft elevation, 0.2 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. It is the only public-use airport within 10 miles of the address.

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, (915) 241-7699, and an agency email, bsunderm@coloradomesa.edu; it carries no website, so the contact details above are the only ones the FAA publishes 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.
