The address falls in the Oklahoma City, OK metropolitan statistical area.
The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Wiley Post (KPWA) at Oklahoma City, a towered field at 1,300 ft elevation, 0.4 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. 3 public-use airports sit within 10 miles of the address.
Within 100 miles the FAA lists at least five other Part 141 locations; the closest is University of Oklahoma in Norman, OK at 22 miles, followed by Semper Fly Helicopters in Norman at 22 miles. Oklahoma has 8 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #27 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Tulsa (3), Norman (2) and Bethany (1).
The FAA record carries an agency phone number, (405) 787-4568, and an agency email, sk@okav.co; it carries no website, so the contact details above are the only ones the FAA publishes 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.
