ST. Francis UniversityFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Loretto, Pennsylvania
ST. Francis University is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 132 Franciscan Way in Loretto, Pennsylvania 15940, under air agency certificate 6L9S861C with location designator 6L2S. The same certificate covers 3 FAA-listed locations, so this page describes the Loretto site only; the 2 other locations are listed below. The address falls in the Johnstown, PA metropolitan statistical area.
The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Ebensburg (9G8) at Ebensburg, a non-towered field at 2,099 ft elevation, 7.8 miles from the school's listed address. The listed address is 7.8 miles from that field, so it may be an administrative or campus address rather than the ramp; ask the school where its training aircraft are actually based. 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 17 miles, followed by Nulton Aviation Services Inc in Friedens at 38 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, (724) 493-0000, and an agency email, wguzic@nultonaviation.com; it carries no website, so the contact details above are the only ones the FAA publishes 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.
