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

Gulf Coast Aviation LLC is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 6401 Stars And Stripes Blvd in New Orleans, Louisiana 70126, under air agency certificate U3XS044M with location designator U3XS. The same certificate covers 5 FAA-listed locations, so this page describes the New Orleans site only; the 4 other locations are listed below. The address falls in the New Orleans-Metairie, LA metropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Lakefront (KNEW), a towered field at 7 ft elevation, 1.7 miles from the school's listed address. The listed address is 1.7 miles from that field, close enough that the aircraft are most likely based there, but confirm the training airport before comparing hourly rates. The Census geocoder could not match the FAA street address to a rooftop, so this distance is measured from the 70126 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 4 other Part 141 locations; the closest is Southern Seaplane Inc in Belle Chasse, LA at 11 miles, followed by Gulf Coast Aviation LLC in Kiln at 42 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 an agency phone number, (504) 246-2700, and an agency email, info@neworleansairplanes.com; it carries no website, so the contact details above are the only ones the FAA publishes 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.
