Rich Aviation Services, LLCFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Fort Worth, Texas
Rich Aviation Services, LLC is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 221 Aviation Way, Suite 100 in Fort Worth, Texas 76106, under air agency certificate 3RIS384C with location designator 3RIS. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. 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 Fort Worth Meacham International (KFTW), a towered field at 710 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. 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 Delta-Qualiflight Aviation in Ft. Worth, TX at 0.5 miles, followed by Helicopter Institute in Fort Worth at 0.5 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 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.
