Balloon the RockiesFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Park City, Utah
Balloon the Rockies is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 7749 North Whileaway Road in Park City, Utah 84098, under air agency certificate KL6S669N with location designator KL6S. The same certificate covers 2 FAA-listed locations, so this page describes the Park City site only; the 1 other location is listed below. The address falls in the Heber, UT micropolitan statistical area.
The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Heber Valley (KHCR) at Heber, a non-towered field at 5,637 ft elevation, 19 miles from the school's listed address. The listed address is 19 miles from that field, so it may be an administrative or campus address rather than the ramp; ask the school where its training aircraft are actually based. The Census geocoder could not match the FAA street address to a rooftop, so this distance is measured from the 84098 ZIP-code centroid and is approximate. No public-use airport lies within 10 miles of the listed address.
Within 100 miles the FAA lists at least five other Part 141 locations; the closest is Cornerstone Aviation Inc in Salt Lake City, UT at 22 miles, followed by FLT Academy in Woods Cross at 22 miles. Utah has 18 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #12 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Provo (3), Cedar City (2) and Logan (2). 1 of the Utah entries has no dedicated page because the FAA record lacks a usable address.
The FAA record carries an agency phone number, (435) 513-1210, and an agency email, mike@aeronaut.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.
