Gulf Coast Aviation LLCFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Alexandria, Louisiana

Gulf Coast Aviation LLC is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 1037 Billy Mitchell Blvd in Alexandria, Louisiana 71303, under air agency certificate U3XS044M with location designator 43US. The same certificate covers 5 FAA-listed locations, so this page describes the Alexandria site only; the 4 other locations are listed below. The address falls in the Alexandria, LA metropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Alexandria International (KAEX), a towered field at 88 ft elevation, 1.0 mile from the school's listed address. The listed address is 1.0 miles from that field, close enough that the aircraft are most likely based there, but confirm the training airport before comparing hourly rates. 2 public-use airports sit within 10 miles of the address.

Within 100 miles the FAA lists 4 other Part 141 locations; the closest is Louisiana Tech University in Ruston, LA at 82 miles, followed by Texas American Flight Academy Inc in Monroe at 87 miles. Louisiana has 8 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #26 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Alexandria (1), Baton Rouge (1) and Belle Chasse (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.
