Cloud 9 AviationFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania
Cloud 9 Aviation is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at Allegheny County Airport in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania 15122, under air agency certificate C9VS123M with location designator 0222. The same certificate covers 2 FAA-listed locations, so this page describes the West Mifflin site only; the 1 other location is listed below. The address falls in the Pittsburgh, PA metropolitan statistical area.
The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Allegheny County (KAGC) at Pittsburgh, a towered field at 1,252 ft elevation, 1.8 miles from the school's listed address. The listed address is 1.8 miles from that field, close enough that the aircraft are most likely based there, but confirm the training airport before comparing hourly rates. The Census geocoder could not match the FAA street address to a rooftop, so this distance is measured from the 15122 ZIP-code centroid and is approximate. 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 Community College of Allegheny County in West Mifflin, PA at 2.9 miles, followed by Ravotti Air LLC in Leechburg at 26 miles. Pennsylvania has 30 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #4 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Allentown (3), Beaver Falls (3) and Blue Bell (2). 1 of the Pennsylvania 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.
