Farmingdale State CollegeFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Farmingdale, New York

Farmingdale State College is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 885 Route 110 in Farmingdale, New York 11735, under air agency certificate N5YS628K with location designator N5YS. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. The address falls in the New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ metropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Republic (KFRG), a towered field at 82 ft elevation, 1.0 mile from the school's listed address. The listed address is 1.0 miles from that field, close enough that the aircraft are most likely based there, but confirm the training airport before comparing hourly rates. The Census geocoder could not match the FAA street address to a rooftop, so this distance is measured from the 11735 ZIP-code centroid and is approximate. 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 Global Aviation Center Inc in Farmingdale, NY at under 0.1 miles, followed by Academy of Aviation LLC in Farmingdale at 1.1 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.
