Ja Flight TrainingFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Sugar Grove, Illinois
Ja Flight Training is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at Aurora Municipal Airport, 43W752 US Route 30 in Sugar Grove, Illinois 60554, under air agency certificate 3JBS059L with location designator 3JBS. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. 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 Aurora Municipal (KARR) at Chicago/Aurora, a towered field at 712 ft elevation, 1.0 mile from the school's listed address. The listed address is 1.0 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 60554 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 Chicago Flight School in West Chicago, IL at 15 miles, followed by Illinois Aviation Academy, LLC in Dekalb at 17 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, (901) 332-7239, and an agency email, dom@raijets.com; 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.
