Vermont Flight AcademyFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in South Burlington, Vermont
Vermont Flight Academy is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 308 Da Vinci Drive in South Burlington, Vermont 05403, under air agency certificate 6VFS045L with location designator 6VFS. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. The address falls in the Burlington-South Burlington, VT metropolitan statistical area.
The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Patrick Leahy Burlington International (KBTV) at Burlington, a towered field at 335 ft elevation, 2.1 miles from the school's listed address. The listed address is 2.1 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 05403 ZIP-code centroid and is approximate. 2 public-use airports sit within 10 miles of the address.
Within 100 miles the FAA lists 2 other Part 141 locations; the closest is Infinity Flight Group, LLC Burlington, VT in Burlington, VT at under 0.1 miles, followed by Vermont State University in Williston at 3.0 miles. Vermont has 3 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #45 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Burlington (1), South Burlington (1) and Williston (1).
The FAA record carries an agency phone number, (802) 863-5988, and an agency email, office@flyvfa.org; 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.
