Bode Aviation IncFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Albuquerque, New Mexico

Bode Aviation Inc is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 2505 Clark Carr Loop, SE in Albuquerque, New Mexico 87106, under air agency certificate J7BS555Y with location designator J02S. The same certificate covers 2 FAA-listed locations, so this page describes the Albuquerque site only; the 1 other location is listed below. The address falls in the Albuquerque, NM metropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Albuquerque International Sunport (KABQ), a towered field at 5,355 ft elevation, 0.8 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 Kirtland Flight Center in Albuquerque, NM at 6.3 miles, followed by Airborne Heat Inc in Albuquerque at 6.9 miles. New Mexico has 7 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #29 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Albuquerque (5), Portales (1) and Santa Teresa (1).

The FAA record carries an agency phone number, (505) 884-4530, and an agency email, john.bode@flybode.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.
