Portland Community CollegeFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Portland, Oregon

Portland Community College is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 17705 NW Springville Rd in Portland, Oregon 97229, under air agency certificate PCCS116M with location designator PCCS. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. The address falls in the Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA metropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Portland-Hillsboro (KHIO), a towered field at 208 ft elevation, 4.6 miles from the school's listed address. The listed address is 4.6 miles from that field, close enough that the aircraft are most likely based there, but confirm the training airport before comparing hourly rates. 2 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 Hillsboro Heli Academy in Hillsboro, OR at 4.4 miles, followed by Aero Maintenance Inc in Vancouver at 11 miles. Oregon has 15 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #17 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Bend (3), Troutdale (2) and Albany (1). 1 of the Oregon 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.
