Propel Aviation Center LLCFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Newberry, South Carolina

Propel Aviation Center LLC is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 1135 Airport Road in Newberry, South Carolina 29018, under air agency certificate OPES087M with location designator OPES. The same certificate covers 2 FAA-listed locations, so this page describes the Newberry site only; the 1 other location is listed below. The address falls in the Orangeburg, SC micropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is ST George (6J2) at St George, a non-towered field at 85 ft elevation, 13 miles from the school's listed address. The listed address is 13 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. The Census geocoder could not match the FAA street address to a rooftop, so this distance is measured from the 29018 ZIP-code centroid and is approximate. No public-use airport lies within 10 miles of the listed 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 29 miles, followed by Charleston Southern Univ - Aeronautics in Charleston 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.
