Red Arrow Flight AcademyFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Santa Teresa, New Mexico
Red Arrow Flight Academy is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 8063 Airport Road in Santa Teresa, New Mexico 88008, under air agency certificate 162S352C with location designator 162S. The certificate holder's legal name is Red Arrow Aviation; the FAA record carries the trading name Red Arrow Flight Academy. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. The address falls in the Las Cruces, NM metropolitan statistical area.
The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Dona Ana County International Jetport (KDNA), a non-towered field at 4,113 ft elevation, 0.5 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.
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. 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.
