Patriot Pilot Academy LLC.FAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Crestview, Florida

Patriot Pilot Academy LLC. is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 5535 John Givins Rd in Crestview, Florida 32539, under air agency certificate 1TIS075M with location designator 1TIS. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. The address falls in the Crestview-Fort Walton Beach-Destin, FL metropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Bob Sikes (KCEW), a non-towered field at 214 ft elevation, 0.3 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. 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 Eglin Aero Club in Eglin Afb, FL at 19 miles, followed by Destin Flight Works in Destin at 26 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 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.
