University of Memphis is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at The University Of Memphis, 3720 Alumni Ave in Memphis, Tennessee 38111, under air agency certificate UOMS080M with location designator UOMS. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. The address falls in the Memphis, TN-MS-AR metropolitan statistical area.
The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Frederick W Smith International/Memphis (KMEM), a towered field at 341 ft elevation, 5.7 miles from the school's listed address. The listed address is 5.7 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. 2 public-use airports sit within 10 miles of the address.
Within 100 miles the FAA lists 3 other Part 141 locations; the closest is Southwest Tennessee Community College in Memphis, TN at 5.2 miles, followed by Sanders Flight Training Center Inc in Memphis at 5.9 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 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.
