Laurel Highlands Aeronautical Academy LLCFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Latrobe, Pennsylvania

Laurel Highlands Aeronautical Academy LLC is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 148 Aviation Lane, Suite 109 in Latrobe, Pennsylvania 15650, under air agency certificate GYRS436L with location designator GYRS. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. 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 Arnold Palmer Regional (KLBE), a towered field at 1,199 ft elevation, 1.0 mile from the school's listed address. The listed address is 1.0 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 15650 ZIP-code centroid and is approximate. 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 Nulton Aviation Services Inc in Friedens, PA at 26 miles, followed by Cloud 9 Aviation in West Mifflin at 27 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.
