Fly Gateway Aviation InstituteFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Allentown, Pennsylvania

Fly Gateway Aviation Institute is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 1730 Vultee Street in Allentown, Pennsylvania 18103, under air agency certificate G7WS414K with location designator G7WS. The same certificate covers 5 FAA-listed locations, so this page describes the Allentown site only; the 4 other locations are listed below. The address falls in the Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ metropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Allentown Queen City Municipal (KXLL), a non-towered field at 399 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. 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 Ace Pilot Training in Allentown, PA at 5.5 miles, followed by Lehigh Carbon Community College in Allentown at 5.5 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.
