Ortega Aviation Services, LLCFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Wichita, Kansas

Ortega Aviation Services, LLC is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 1922 Midfield Road in Wichita, Kansas 67209, under air agency certificate TKOS073M with location designator TKOS. 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 Wichita Dwight D Eisenhower NTL (KICT), a towered field at 1,333 ft elevation, 0.7 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.

Within 100 miles the FAA lists at least five other Part 141 locations; the closest is Textron Aviation Employees' Flying Club Inc in Wichita, KS at 1.3 miles, followed by Textron Aviation Employees' Flying Club Inc in Wichita at 12 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 an agency phone number, (316) 925-7700, but no agency email 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.
