University of Maryland Eastern ShoreFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Princess Anne, Maryland

University of Maryland Eastern Shore is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 30925 College Backbone Road in Princess Anne, Maryland 21853, under air agency certificate 4UMS308L with location designator 4UMS. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. The address falls in the Salisbury, MD metropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Salisbury-Ocean City Wicomico Regional (KSBY) at Salisbury, a towered field at 53 ft elevation, 13 miles from the school's listed address. The listed address is 13 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 at least five other Part 141 locations; the closest is Ocean Aviation Inc in Berlin, MD at 31 miles, followed by Pray Aviation Inc in Easton at 46 miles. Maryland has 15 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #16 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Frederick (2), Gaithersburg (2) and Middle River (2).

The FAA record carries an agency phone number, (410) 651-6365, but no agency email or website 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.
