Warrenton, VA KHWYFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Midland, Virginia
Warrenton, VA KHWY is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 1533 Iris Trail in Midland, Virginia 22728, under air agency certificate VZ7S865K with location designator 7VQS. The same certificate covers 5 FAA-listed locations, so this page describes the Midland 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 Warrenton/Fauquier (KHWY) at Warrenton, a non-towered field at 336 ft elevation, 1.8 miles from the school's listed address. The listed address is 1.8 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 22728 ZIP-code centroid and is approximate. 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 Aviation Adventures LLC in Manassas, VA at 14 miles, followed by PISTON2JET LLC in Manassas at 16 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, (540) 788-4734, 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.
