Nulton Aviation Services IncFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Friedens, Pennsylvania

Nulton Aviation Services Inc is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 159 Airport Lane in Friedens, Pennsylvania 15441, under air agency certificate 6L9S861C with location designator 0172. The same certificate covers 3 FAA-listed locations, so this page describes the Friedens site only; the 2 other locations are listed below. The address falls in the Somerset, PA micropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Somerset County (2G9) at Somerset, a non-towered field at 2,275 ft elevation, 0.2 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. 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 Johnstown, PA at 21 miles, followed by Laurel Highlands Aeronautical Academy LLC in Latrobe 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.
