AaaFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Wilmington, North Carolina

Aaa is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 1724 Gardner Drive Suite 110 in Wilmington, North Carolina 28405, under air agency certificate 34AS192L with location designator 134S. The same certificate covers 2 FAA-listed locations, so this page describes the Wilmington site only; the 1 other location is listed below. The address falls in the Wilmington, NC metropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Wilmington International (KILM), a towered field at 32 ft elevation, 0.9 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.

Within 100 miles the FAA lists at least five other Part 141 locations; the closest is High Tide Aviation in Southport, NC at 22 miles, followed by Leadership in Flight Training LLC in Myrtle Beach at 72 miles. North Carolina has 23 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #7 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Greensboro (2), Asheville (1) and Carthage (1). 1 of the North Carolina entries has no dedicated page because the FAA record lacks a usable address.

The FAA record carries an agency phone number, (910) 297-8817, 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.
