The Balloon Flight SchoolFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Albuquerque, New Mexico

The Balloon Flight School is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 1220 Rockrose Rd NE in Albuquerque, New Mexico 87122, under air agency certificate RD1S448K with location designator RD1S. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. 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, 11 miles from the school's listed address. The listed address is 11 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. No public-use airport lies within 10 miles of the listed address.

Within 100 miles the FAA lists 4 other Part 141 locations; the closest is Bode Aviation Inc in Albuquerque, NM at 11 miles, followed by Kirtland Flight Center in Albuquerque at 11 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.
