Dover AFB Aero ClubFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Dover Afb, Delaware

Dover AFB Aero Club is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 436th Fss/Fsca, 1360 Las Vegas Street in Dover Afb, Delaware 19902, under air agency certificate D7GS578K with location designator D7GS. 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) at Dover, a towered field at 29 ft elevation, 0.1 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. The Census geocoder could not match the FAA street address to a rooftop, so this distance is measured from the 19902 ZIP-code centroid and is approximate. 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 Delaware State University in Dover, DE at 2.4 miles, followed by Herlihy Helicopters Inc in Dover at 5.4 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 an agency email, r.mrazek@kfaero.ca, but no agency phone number 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.
