Piedmont Flight TrainingFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Winston Salem, North Carolina

Piedmont Flight Training is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 3901 N Liberty Street in Winston Salem, North Carolina 27105, under air agency certificate Z8YS938K with location designator Z8YS. The certificate holder's legal name is Piedmont Flight Inc; the FAA record carries the trading name Piedmont Flight Training. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. The address falls in the Winston-Salem, NC metropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Smith Reynolds (KINT), a towered field at 969 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 Taa Flight Training in Greensboro, NC at 16 miles, followed by Guilford Technical Community College in Greensboro at 18 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.
