Flying AcademyFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Miami, Florida
Flying Academy is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 14569 SW 127 St., Miami Executive Airport (Ktmb) in Miami, Florida 33186, under air agency certificate XVES209K with location designator XVES. The certificate holder's legal name is Silver Express Company; the FAA record carries the trading name Flying Academy. The same certificate covers 3 FAA-listed locations, so this page describes the Miami site only; the 2 other locations are listed below. The address falls in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL metropolitan statistical area.
The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Miami Executive (KTMB), a towered field at 10 ft elevation, 0.2 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 Miami Dade College in Miami, FL at 0.2 miles, followed by ADF Airways in Miami at 0.2 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, (305) 255-8753, and an agency email, fly@flyingacademy.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.
