Maine Instrument FlightFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Augusta, Maine

Maine Instrument Flight is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 215 Winthrop Street, Augusta State Airport in Augusta, Maine 04330, under air agency certificate BFYS429C with location designator BFYS. The same certificate covers 3 FAA-listed locations, so this page describes the Augusta site only; the 2 other locations are listed below. The address falls in the Augusta-Waterville, ME micropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Augusta State (KAUG), a non-towered field at 352 ft elevation, 0.4 miles from the school's listed address. The listed address is on or beside the airfield, which is the usual arrangement for a Part 141 operation flying from its own ramp. 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 University of Maine at Augusta in Augusta, ME at 1.7 miles, followed by Maine Instrument Flight BXM in Brunswick at 30 miles. Maine has 6 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #31 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Augusta (2), Bangor (1) and Brunswick (1).

The FAA record carries an agency phone number, (207) 622-1211, and an agency email, mail@mif.aero; 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.
