Southern Seaplane IncFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Belle Chasse, Louisiana
Southern Seaplane Inc is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 1 Coquille Ln. in Belle Chasse, Louisiana 70037, under air agency certificate 9D4S388C with location designator 9D4S. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. 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) at New Orleans, a towered field at 7 ft elevation, 12 miles from the school's listed address. The listed address is 12 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. No public-use airport lies within 10 miles of the listed address.
Within 100 miles the FAA lists 4 other Part 141 locations; the closest is Gulf Coast Aviation LLC in New Orleans, LA at 11 miles, followed by Gulf Coast Aviation LLC in Houma at 43 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.
