NV FlightFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Reno, Nevada

NV Flight is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 1008 Gentry Way in Reno, Nevada 89502, under air agency certificate RNFS055M with location designator RNFS. The certificate holder's legal name is NV Flight LLC; the FAA record carries the trading names NV Flight and NV Flight Training. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. The address falls in the Reno, NV metropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Reno/Tahoe International (KRNO), a towered field at 4,415 ft elevation, 0.9 mile 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.

Within 100 miles the FAA lists 4 other Part 141 locations; the closest is Fly Reno, LLC in Reno, NV at 1.4 miles, followed by Sky Trails Aviation in Auburn at 79 miles. Nevada has 3 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #44 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Reno (2) and North Las Vegas (1).

The FAA record carries an agency phone number, (775) 899-8267, but no agency email or website 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.
