Midwest Air, LLCFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Howell, Michigan

Midwest Air, LLC is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 3808 W. Grand River Ave. in Howell, Michigan 48855, under air agency certificate CWAS009M with location designator CWAS. The certificate holder's legal name is Crosswinds Aviation; the FAA record carries the trading name Midwest Air, LLC. The same certificate covers 5 FAA-listed locations, so this page describes the Howell site only; the 4 other locations are listed below. The address falls in the Detroit-Warren-Dearborn, MI metropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Livingston County/Spencer J Hardy (KOZW), a non-towered field at 962 ft elevation, 5.6 miles from the school's listed address. The listed address is 5.6 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. The Census geocoder could not match the FAA street address to a rooftop, so this distance is measured from the 48855 ZIP-code centroid and is approximate. 3 public-use airports sit within 10 miles of the address.

Within 100 miles the FAA lists at least five other Part 141 locations; the closest is FNT Satellite in Flint, MI at 22 miles, followed by PTK Satellite in Waterford at 24 miles. Michigan has 11 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #21 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Battle Creek (1), Belleville (1) and Berrien Springs (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.
