The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. The address falls in the Meadville, PA micropolitan statistical area.
The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Port Meadville (KGKJ), a non-towered field at 1,399 ft elevation, 0.5 mile 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 Fundamentals Flight Training, LLC in Erie, PA at 31 miles, followed by Grove City Flight Academy in Mercer at 34 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 an agency phone number, (814) 807-1715, but no agency email or website 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.
