Eastern Kentucky UniversityFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Richmond, Kentucky

Eastern Kentucky University is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 521 Lancaster Ave, School Of Aviation, Stratton 50 in Richmond, Kentucky 40475, under air agency certificate OKZS314K with location designator OKZS. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. The address falls in the Richmond-Berea, KY micropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Central Kentucky Regional (KRGA), a non-towered field at 1,002 ft elevation, 7.9 miles from the school's listed address. The listed address is 7.9 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. It is the only public-use airport within 10 miles of the address.

Within 100 miles the FAA lists at least five other Part 141 locations; the closest is Wings Flight Enterprises, Inc in Lexington, KY at 26 miles, followed by Nexgen Flight Academy, LLC in Lexington at 27 miles. Kentucky has 4 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #39 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Lexington (2), Danville (1) and Richmond (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.
