Falcon Aviation Flight SchoolFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Lancaster, New York

Falcon Aviation Flight School is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 4343 Walden Avenue in Lancaster, New York 14086, under air agency certificate FAFS038M with location designator 0227. The same certificate covers 2 FAA-listed locations, so this page describes the Lancaster site only; the 1 other location is listed below. The address falls in the Buffalo-Cheektowaga, NY metropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Buffalo-Lancaster Regional (KBQR) at Buffalo, a non-towered field at 752 ft elevation, 0.2 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. With 4 public-use airports inside 10 miles, this is a dense training area where cross-country and pattern work at other fields is a short hop.

Within 100 miles the FAA lists 3 other Part 141 locations; the closest is Falcon Aviation Flight School in Niagara Falls, NY at 21 miles, followed by Rochester Air Center LLC in Rochester at 50 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 an agency phone number, (716) 409-0204, but no agency email or website 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.
