The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is New Century Aircenter (KIXD) at Olathe, a towered field at 1,087 ft elevation, 0.5 mile 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.

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.
