The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Centralia Municipal (KENL), a non-towered field at 534 ft elevation, 2.7 miles from the school's listed address. The listed address is 2.7 miles from that field, close enough that the aircraft are most likely based there, but confirm the training airport before comparing hourly rates. The Census geocoder could not match the FAA street address to a rooftop, so this distance is measured from the 62801 ZIP-code centroid and is approximate. 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 Airgo Inc in Centralia, IL at 1.2 miles, followed by Southwestern Illinois College in Belleville at 42 miles. Illinois has 15 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #15 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Centralia (2), Belleville (1) and Chicago (1).

The FAA record carries an agency phone number, (618) 533-1643, 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.
