Griffith Aviation IncFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Griffith, Indiana

Griffith Aviation Inc is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 1705 East Main Street in Griffith, Indiana 46319, under air agency certificate KO8S275Q with location designator KO8S. 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 Griffith-Merrillville (05C), a non-towered field at 634 ft elevation, 0.2 miles 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. With 4 public-use airports inside 10 miles, this is a dense training area where cross-country and pattern work at other fields is a short hop.

Within 100 miles the FAA lists at least five other Part 141 locations; the closest is Region Flyers in Lansing, IL at 8.4 miles, followed by Eagle Aircraft in Valparaiso at 21 miles. Indiana has 23 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #6 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Columbus (2), Indianapolis (2) and Marion (2).

The FAA record carries an agency email, rene@gmf-aeroasia.co.id, but no agency phone number 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.
