Ridgeline Flight School LLCFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Belgrade, Montana
Ridgeline Flight School LLC is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 74520 Tarmac Trail in Belgrade, Montana 59714, under air agency certificate 2R1S366L with location designator 2R1S. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. The address falls in the Bozeman, MT metropolitan statistical area.
The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Bozeman Yellowstone International (KBZN) at Bozeman, a towered field at 4,473 ft elevation, 14 miles from the school's listed address. The listed address is 14 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 59714 ZIP-code centroid and is approximate. No public-use airport lies within 10 miles of the listed address.
Within 100 miles the FAA lists 1 other Part 141 location; the closest is Transmedics Aviation in Belgrade, MT at under 0.1 miles. 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 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.
