Utah State UniversityFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Price, Utah

Utah State University is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 3095 Airport Road in Price, Utah 84501, under air agency certificate GO3S534L with location designator 6O3S. The same certificate covers 3 FAA-listed locations, so this page describes the Price site only; the 1 other location is listed below. The address falls in the Price, UT micropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Carbon County Regional/Buck Davis Field (KPUC), a non-towered field at 5,958 ft elevation, 0.3 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 Utah Helicopter in Spanish Fork, UT at 60 miles, followed by Bountiful Flight, LLC in Springville at 66 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) 797-7897, and an agency email, claudio.acostapresta@usu.edu; 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.
