L3 Commercial Training Solutions Airline AcademyFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Jacksonville, Florida
L3 Commercial Training Solutions Airline Academy is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 855-3 St. Johns Bluff Road, Hangar 3 in Jacksonville, Florida 32225, under air agency certificate CE8S057Q with location designator V00S. The same certificate covers 2 FAA-listed locations, so this page describes the Jacksonville site only; the 1 other location is listed below. The address falls in the Jacksonville, FL metropolitan statistical area.
The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Jacksonville Executive at Craig (KCRG), a towered field at 41 ft elevation, 0.5 mile 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. 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 ATP USA in Jacksonville, FL at 0.3 miles, followed by Sterling Flight Training, LLC in Jacksonville at 1.8 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, (904) 641-5774, and an agency email, david.krugjr@l3harris.com; 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.
