Great Lakes Air Ventures LLCFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Mason, Michigan

Great Lakes Air Ventures LLC is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 659 Aviation Dr. in Mason, Michigan 48854, under air agency certificate 4G1S304L with location designator 4G1S. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. The address falls in the Lansing-East Lansing, MI metropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Mason Jewett Field (KTEW), a non-towered field at 919 ft elevation, 1.8 miles from the school's listed address. The listed address is 1.8 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 48854 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 at least five other Part 141 locations; the closest is Lan Satellite in Lansing, MI at 15 miles, followed by Midwest Air, LLC in Howell at 29 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.
