Charleston Southern Univ - AeronauticsFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Charleston, South Carolina

Charleston Southern Univ - Aeronautics is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at Department Of Aeronautics, 9200 University Boulevard in Charleston, South Carolina 29406, under air agency certificate CSUS451L with location designator CSUS. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. The address falls in the Charleston-North Charleston, SC metropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Charleston AFB/International (KCHS), a towered field at 46 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 29406 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 Carolina Sky Flight Training in Summerville, SC at 16 miles, followed by Propel Aviation Center LLC in Newberry at 45 miles. South Carolina has 6 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #33 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Charleston (1), Columbia (1) and Greenville (1).

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.
