Colorado Northwestern Community CollegeFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Rangely, Colorado

Colorado Northwestern Community College is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 2248 East Main in Rangely, Colorado 81648, under air agency certificate MB8S314Q with location designator MB8S. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Rangely (4V0), a non-towered field at 5,278 ft elevation, 0.3 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.

Within 100 miles the FAA lists 2 other Part 141 locations; the closest is Colorado Mesa University Tech in Grand Junction, CO at 68 miles, followed by Colorado Mesa University Tech in Grand Junction at 69 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 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.
