Hesston CollegeFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Hesston, Kansas

Hesston College is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at PO Box 3000 in Hesston, Kansas 67062, under air agency certificate OQDS313K with location designator OQDS. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. The address falls in the Wichita, KS metropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Moundridge Municipal (47K) at Moundridge, a non-towered field at 1,489 ft elevation, 5.9 miles from the school's listed address. The listed address is 5.9 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 67062 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 WSU Tech in Wichita, KS at 29 miles, followed by Textron Aviation Employees' Flying Club Inc in Wichita at 33 miles. Kansas has 9 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #23 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Wichita (4), New Century (2) and Hesston (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.
