Illinois Aviation Academy, LLCFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Chicago, Illinois

Illinois Aviation Academy, LLC is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 1N Franklin St, Suite 2125 in Chicago, Illinois 60606, under air agency certificate 2ILS296L with location designator 2ILS. The same certificate covers 3 FAA-listed locations, so this page describes the Chicago site only; the 2 other locations are listed below. The address falls in the Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN metropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Chicago Midway International (KMDW), a towered field at 620 ft elevation, 8.9 miles from the school's listed address. The listed address is 8.9 miles from that field, so it may be an administrative or campus address rather than the ramp; ask the school where its training aircraft are actually based. The Census geocoder could not match the FAA street address to a rooftop, so this distance is measured from the 60606 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 PWK Satellite in Wheeling, IL at 22 miles, followed by Region Flyers in Lansing at 22 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 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.
