Tampa Bay Aviation is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 1000 N. Hercules Ave. in Clearwater, Florida 33765, under air agency certificate 22LS411L with location designator 22LS. The certificate holder's legal name is Skyco Inc; the FAA record carries the trading name Tampa Bay Aviation. The same certificate covers 2 FAA-listed locations, so this page describes the Clearwater site only; the 1 other location is listed below. 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 Clearwater Executive (KCLW), a non-towered field at 71 ft elevation, 0.4 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. 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 Clearwater Aviation Academy in Clearwater, FL at 6.5 miles, followed by Global Pilot Academy Inc in Tampa at 23 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.
