Wings Flight TrainingFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Danville, Kentucky
Wings Flight Training is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at Stuart Powell Field, 420 Airport Road in Danville, Kentucky 40422, under air agency certificate WFTS860K with location designator WFTS. The certificate holder's legal name is Wings Flight Enterprises Inc; the FAA record carries the trading name Wings Flight Training. The same certificate covers 2 FAA-listed locations, so this page describes the Danville site only; the 1 other location is listed below. The address falls in the Danville, KY micropolitan statistical area.
The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Stuart Powell Field (KDVK), a non-towered field at 1,021 ft elevation, 5.1 miles from the school's listed address. The listed address is 5.1 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 40422 ZIP-code centroid and is approximate. 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 Eastern Kentucky University in Richmond, KY at 28 miles, followed by Wings Flight Enterprises, Inc in Lexington at 29 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.
