Embry Riddle Aeronautical UniversityFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Daytona Beach, Florida
Embry Riddle Aeronautical University is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 1 Aerospace Blvd. in Daytona Beach, Florida 32114, under air agency certificate NX4S404M with location designator NX4S. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. The address falls in the Deltona-Daytona Beach-Ormond Beach, FL metropolitan statistical area.
The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Daytona Beach International (KDAB), a towered field at 34 ft elevation, 1.1 mile from the school's listed address. The listed address is 1.1 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 32114 ZIP-code centroid and is approximate. 2 public-use airports sit within 10 miles of the address.
Within 100 miles the FAA lists at least five other Part 141 locations; the closest is Superior Flight School in Daytona Beach, FL at 0.8 miles, followed by Sunrise Aviation Inc in Ormond Beach at 8.2 miles. Florida has 108 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #1 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Pembroke Pines (8), Jacksonville (7) and Miami (7). 1 of the Florida entries has no dedicated page because the FAA record lacks a usable address.
The FAA record carries an agency phone number, (386) 226-6993, and an agency email, grauiva@erau.edu; 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.
