Leesburg, VA KJYOFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Leesburg, Virginia

Leesburg, VA KJYO is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 1001 Sycolin Road SE in Leesburg, Virginia 20175, under air agency certificate VZ7S865K with location designator V7QS. The same certificate covers 5 FAA-listed locations, so this page describes the Leesburg site only; the 4 other locations are listed below. The address falls in the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV metropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Leesburg Executive (KJYO), a towered field at 390 ft elevation, 0.2 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 Aero Elite Flight Training in Leesburg, VA at under 0.1 miles, followed by Pilot in Training Flight Academy in Gaithersburg at 22 miles. Virginia has 18 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #13 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Chesapeake (3), Fredericksburg (2) and Leesburg (2).

The FAA record carries an agency phone number, (703) 777-6030, but no agency email or website 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.
