Blue Line Aviation LLCFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Smithfield, North Carolina

Blue Line Aviation LLC is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 3149 B Swift Creek Road in Smithfield, North Carolina 27560, under air agency certificate 8BLS208L with location designator 8BLS. The same certificate covers 2 FAA-listed locations, so this page describes the Smithfield site only; the 1 other location is listed below. The address falls in the Raleigh-Cary, NC metropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Johnston Regional (KJNX), a non-towered field at 164 ft elevation, 0.7 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 M2A Aviation Academy, LLC in Pikeville, NC at 24 miles, followed by Total Flight Solutions, LLC in Loiusburg at 37 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 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.
