Metropolitan State University of DenverFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Denver, Colorado

Metropolitan State University of Denver is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 1250 7th Street, Campus Box 30 in Denver, Colorado 80217, under air agency certificate MSAS370L with location designator MSAS. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. The address falls in the Denver-Aurora-Centennial, CO metropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Rocky Mountain Metro (KBJC), a towered field at 5,673 ft elevation, 13 miles from the school's listed address. The listed address is 13 miles from that field, so it may be an administrative or campus address rather than the ramp; ask the school where its training aircraft are actually based. No public-use airport lies within 10 miles of the listed address.

Within 100 miles the FAA lists at least five other Part 141 locations; the closest is Western Air Flight Academy in Broomfield, CO at 13 miles, followed by McAir Aviation in Broomfield at 13 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, (303) 605-7224, 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.
