Delaware State UniversityFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Dover, Delaware

Delaware State University is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at Aviation Program, 1200 North Dupont Highway in Dover, Delaware 19901, under air agency certificate UDWS188K with location designator UDWS. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. The address falls in the Dover, DE metropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Dover AFB (KDOV), a towered field at 29 ft elevation, 2.3 miles from the school's listed address. The listed address is 2.3 miles from that field, close enough that the aircraft are most likely based there, but confirm the training airport before comparing hourly rates. With 4 public-use airports inside 10 miles, this is a dense training area where cross-country and pattern work at other fields is a short hop.

Within 100 miles the FAA lists at least five other Part 141 locations; the closest is Dover AFB Aero Club in Dover Afb, DE at 2.4 miles, followed by Herlihy Helicopters Inc in Dover at 3.3 miles. Delaware has 4 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #38 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Dover (2), Dover Afb (1) and New Castle (1).

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.
