Spanaflight AviationFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Kent, Washington

Spanaflight Aviation is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 29300 179th Pl. SE in Kent, Washington 98042, under air agency certificate 56NS286L with location designator 76NS. The same certificate covers 4 FAA-listed locations, so this page describes the Kent site only; the 3 other locations are listed below. The address falls in the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA metropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Crest Airfield (S36) at Covington, a non-towered field at 472 ft elevation, 2.0 miles from the school's listed address. The listed address is 2.0 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 98042 ZIP-code centroid and is approximate. 2 public-use airports sit within 10 miles of the address.

Within 100 miles the FAA lists at least five other Part 141 locations; the closest is Green River College in Auburn, WA at 4.5 miles, followed by Spanaflight Aviation in Auburn at 5.6 miles. Washington has 25 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #5 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Auburn (4), Puyallup (3) and Everett (2).

The FAA record carries an agency phone number, (253) 848-2020, and an agency email, doug@spanaflight.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.
