American Flyers IncFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Addison, Texas

American Flyers Inc is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 4650 Airport Parkway in Addison, Texas 75001, under air agency certificate JM8S247Q with location designator JM8S. The same certificate covers 5 FAA-listed locations, so this page describes the Addison site only; the 4 other locations are listed below. The address falls in the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX metropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Addison (KADS) at Dallas, a towered field at 644 ft elevation, 0.4 miles from the school's listed address. The listed address is on or beside the airfield, which is the usual arrangement for a Part 141 operation flying from its own ramp. 3 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 Thrust Flight LLC. in Addison, TX at under 0.1 miles, followed by Epic Aviation, Inc in Addison at 0.3 miles. Texas has 74 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #2 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Fort Worth (9), Denison (4) and Waco (4). 4 of the Texas entries have no dedicated page because the FAA record lacks a usable address.

The FAA record carries an agency phone number, (954) 592-3890, and an agency email, steven.daun@americanflyers.com; it carries no website, so the contact details above are the only ones the FAA publishes 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.
