Valley Aviation Flight SchoolFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Forty Fort, Pennsylvania

Valley Aviation Flight School is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 2001 Wyoming Ave in Forty Fort, Pennsylvania 18704, under air agency certificate 5VFS123L with location designator 5VFS. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. The address falls in the Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA metropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Wilkes-Barre Wyoming Valley (KWBW) at Wilkes-Barre, a non-towered field at 544 ft elevation, 2.7 miles from the school's listed address. The listed address is 2.7 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 18704 ZIP-code centroid and is approximate. 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 Avp - Fly Gateway Aviation Institute in Avoca, PA at 9.3 miles, followed by Marywood University in Scranton at 17 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.
