East Hill Flying Club IncFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Ithaca, New York

East Hill Flying Club Inc is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 62 Brown Road in Ithaca, New York 14850, under air agency certificate FR8S148Q with location designator FR8S. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. The address falls in the Ithaca, NY metropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Ithaca Tompkins International (KITH), a towered field at 1,099 ft elevation, 0.3 miles 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 at least five other Part 141 locations; the closest is Rome - Satellite in Rome, NY at 74 miles, followed by Rochester Air Center LLC in Rochester at 75 miles. New York has 21 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #9 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Farmingdale (3), Ronkonkoma (2) and Ballston Spa (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.
