Choice Aviation, LLCFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Hamilton, Montana

Choice Aviation, LLC is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 528 Airport Road in Hamilton, Montana 59840, under air agency certificate VPES116U with location designator VPES. The same certificate covers 2 FAA-listed locations, so this page describes the Hamilton site only; the 1 other location is listed below.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Ravalli County (KHRF), a non-towered field at 3,636 ft elevation, 0.2 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.

No other Part 141 location appears in the FAA list within 100 miles, so a student here has no certificated alternative without relocating, which is worth weighing against a Part 61 instructor nearby. Montana has 5 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #35 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Belgrade (2), Billings (1) and Bozeman (1). 1 of the Montana entries has no dedicated page because the FAA record lacks a usable address.

The FAA record carries an agency phone number, (406) 363-6471, and an agency email, batnip@choiceaviation.com; 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.
