Advanced Air DBAFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Council Bluffs, Iowa
Advanced Air DBA is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 101 McCandless Lane, Suite 1 in Council Bluffs, Iowa 51503, under air agency certificate PHKS735S with location designator PHKS. The certificate holder's legal name is Carver Aero, LLC; the FAA record carries the trading names Advanced Air DBA and Revv Aviation. The same certificate covers 2 FAA-listed locations, so this page describes the Council Bluffs site only; the 1 other location is listed below. The address falls in the Omaha, NE-IA metropolitan statistical area.
The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Council Bluffs Municipal (KCBF), a non-towered field at 1,245 ft elevation, 2.9 miles from the school's listed address. The listed address is 2.9 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 51503 ZIP-code centroid and is approximate. 2 public-use airports sit within 10 miles of the address.
Within 100 miles the FAA lists at least five other Part 141 locations; the closest is Carver Aero, LLC-Eppley in Omaha, NE at 7.6 miles, followed by Offutt Aero Club in Offutt Afb at 9.7 miles. Iowa has 12 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #18 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Cedar Rapids (2), Sioux City (2) and Ames (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.
