Rocky Mountain Ussf Flight Training CenterFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Peterson Afb, Colorado

Rocky Mountain Ussf Flight Training Center is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 325 Hamilton Ave, Hangar 133 in Peterson Afb, Colorado 80914, under air agency certificate LJ8S296Q with location designator LJ8S. 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) at Colorado Springs, 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. The Census geocoder could not match the FAA street address to a rooftop, so this distance is measured from the 80914 ZIP-code centroid and is approximate. 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 Arapahoe Flight Club LLC in Colorado Springs, CO at 1.4 miles, followed by Direct Connect Flight Academy in Peyton 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) 556-4310, and an agency email, justin.hoover.2@spaceforce.mil; 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.
