Bill Noe Flight School at Marshall UniversityFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Charleston, West Virginia

Bill Noe Flight School at Marshall University is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 600 Eagle Mountain Rd in Charleston, West Virginia 25311, under air agency certificate MU5S407L with location designator MU5S. The same certificate covers 3 FAA-listed locations, so this page describes the Charleston site only; the 2 other locations are listed below. The address falls in the Charleston, WV metropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is West Virginia International Yeager (KCRW), a towered field at 947 ft elevation, 0.9 mile 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 2 other Part 141 locations; the closest is Ohio University in Albany, OH at 68 miles, followed by Fairmont State University in Bridgeport at 98 miles. West Virginia has 5 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #36 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Martinsburg (2), Bridgeport (1) and Charleston (1).

The FAA record carries an agency phone number, (304) 746-1963, 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.
