Riverside Flight Center IncFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Tulsa, Oklahoma

Riverside Flight Center Inc is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 203 Cessna Drive, Richard Lloyd Jones, Jr. Airport in Tulsa, Oklahoma 74132, under air agency certificate SODS729K with location designator SODS. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. The address falls in the Tulsa, OK metropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Tulsa Riverside (KRVS), a towered field at 638 ft elevation, 0.3 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. 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 Spartan College of Aeronautics and Technology in Tulsa, OK at under 0.1 miles, followed by Tulsa Community College in Tulsa at 0.3 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, (918) 298-3164, and an agency email, info@riversideflightcenter.com; 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.
