Bode Academy of AviationFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Albuquerque, New Mexico

Bode Academy of Aviation is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 7401 Atrisco Vista Blvd., N.W. in Albuquerque, New Mexico 87120, under air agency certificate J7BS555Y with location designator J7BS. The certificate holder's legal name is Bode Aviation Inc; the FAA record carries the trading name Bode Academy of Aviation. 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 Double Eagle II (KAEG), a towered field at 5,837 ft elevation, 1.2 mile from the school's listed address. The listed address is 1.2 miles from that field, close enough that the aircraft are most likely based there, but confirm the training airport before comparing hourly rates. 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 Airborne Heat Inc in Albuquerque, NM at 6.0 miles, followed by Bode Aviation Inc in Albuquerque at 13 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 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.
