Letourneau UniversityFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Longview, Texas

Letourneau University is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at Letourneau University, 200 Airpark Drive in Longview, Texas 75603, under air agency certificate GM8S169Q with location designator GM8S. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. The address falls in the Longview, TX metropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is East Texas Regional (KGGG), a towered field at 366 ft elevation, 1.3 mile from the school's listed address. The listed address is 1.3 miles from that field, close enough that the aircraft are most likely based there, but confirm the training airport before comparing hourly rates. The Census geocoder could not match the FAA street address to a rooftop, so this distance is measured from the 75603 ZIP-code centroid and is approximate. It is the only public-use airport within 10 miles of the address.

Within 100 miles the FAA lists 2 other Part 141 locations; the closest is HCH Aviation LLC in Nacogdoches, TX at 57 miles, followed by HCH Aviation LLC in Burke at 84 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 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.
