Morningside University is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 1501 Morningside Ave in Sioux City, Iowa 51106, under air agency certificate MUMS036M with location designator MUMS. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. The address falls in the Sioux City, IA-NE-SD metropolitan statistical area.
The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Sioux Gateway/Brig General Bud Day Field (KSUX), a towered field at 1,099 ft elevation, 5.3 miles from the school's listed address. The listed address is 5.3 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. 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 Oracle Aviation Flight Training Center in Sioux City, IA at 4.3 miles, followed by Legacy Aviation, LLC in Tea at 73 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.
