Saint Louis UniversityFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in St. Louis, Missouri
Saint Louis University is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at Department Of Aviation Science, 3450 Lindell Blvd in St. Louis, Missouri 63103, under air agency certificate NI1S349K with location designator NI1S. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. The address falls in the St. Louis, MO-IL metropolitan statistical area.
The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is ST Louis Downtown (KCPS) at Cahokia/St Louis, IL, a towered field at 413 ft elevation, 6.1 miles from the school's listed address. The listed address is 6.1 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. 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 Ideal Aviation in Sauget, IL at 5.2 miles, followed by Southwestern Illinois College in Belleville at 18 miles. Missouri has 9 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #24 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Cape Girardeau (2), Springfield (2) and Joplin (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.
