Middle Georgia State UniversityFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Eastman, Georgia

Middle Georgia State University is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 71 Airport Rd in Eastman, Georgia 31023, under air agency certificate HG6S059K with location designator HG6S. The same certificate covers 3 FAA-listed locations, so this page describes the Eastman site only; the 2 other locations are listed below.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Heart of Georgia Regional (KEZM), a towered field at 303 ft elevation, 0.6 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 2 other Part 141 locations; the closest is 48A Satellite in Cochran, GA at 16 miles, followed by KMAC Satellite in Macon at 50 miles. 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) 374-6411, and an agency email, gene.brehends@mga.edu; 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.
