ATP Flight AcademyFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Arlington, Texas
ATP Flight Academy is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 5400 S. Collins Street in Arlington, Texas 76018, under air agency certificate Z8FS785K with location designator 18FS. The same certificate covers 4 FAA-listed locations, so this page describes the Arlington site only; the 3 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 Arlington Municipal (KGKY), a towered field at 628 ft elevation, 0.5 mile 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. 2 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 Skymates Inc in Grand Prairie, TX at 3.8 miles, followed by Aviator Air LLC in Grand Prairie at 4.0 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, (904) 267-6701, and an agency email, alex.mirabile@allatps.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.
