GallatinFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Gallatin, Tennessee

Gallatin is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at Sumner County Regional Airport, 1475 Airport Road Hangar A5 in Gallatin, Tennessee 37066, under air agency certificate UZCS289K with location designator 3ZCS. The same certificate covers 7 FAA-listed locations, so this page describes the Gallatin site only; the 6 other locations are listed below. The address falls in the Nashville-Davidson--Murfreesboro--Franklin, TN metropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Music City Executive (KXNX), a non-towered field at 583 ft elevation, 1.1 mile from the school's listed address. The listed address is 1.1 miles from that field, close enough that the aircraft are most likely based there, but confirm the training airport before comparing hourly rates. 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 Wings of Eagles Aviation LLC in Smyrna, TN at 26 miles, followed by Highland Rim Aviation LLC in Springfield at 29 miles. Tennessee has 10 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #22 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Memphis (3), Clarksville (1) and Gallatin (1).

The FAA record carries an agency phone number, (888) 412-2163, but no agency email or website 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.
