American Flyers IncFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Conroe, Texas
American Flyers Inc is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 5011 Central Parkway, Hangar 17-A in Conroe, Texas 77303, under air agency certificate JM8S247Q with location designator Y68S. The same certificate covers 5 FAA-listed locations, so this page describes the Conroe site only; the 4 other locations are listed below. The address falls in the Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands, TX metropolitan statistical area.
The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Conroe/North Houston Regional (KCXO) at Houston, a towered field at 245 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. 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 US Aviation Group LLC in Conroe, TX at 0.5 miles, followed by Lonestar College Conroe Center in Conre at 1.5 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, (281) 655-4500, 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.
