Global Pilot Academy IncFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Tampa, Florida

Global Pilot Academy Inc is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 6530 Tampa Executive Airport Road in Tampa, Florida 33610, under air agency certificate 4GPS338L with location designator 4GPS. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. The address falls in the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL metropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Tampa Executive (KVDF), a non-towered field at 21 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. The Census geocoder could not match the FAA street address to a rooftop, so this distance is measured from the 33610 ZIP-code centroid and is approximate. 3 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 Skyco Inc in Tampa, FL at under 0.1 miles, followed by Clearwater Aviation Academy in Clearwater at 19 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, (307) 749-4062, 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.
