The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Macon Downtown (KMAC), a non-towered field at 437 ft elevation, 0.4 miles from the school's listed address.

Georgia has 16 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #14 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Atlanta (3), Lawrenceville (2) and Peachtree City (2).
The FAA record carries an agency phone number, (478) 751-3314, 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.
