Marshall University at Martinsburg, WVFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Martinsburg, West Virginia
Marshall University at Martinsburg, WV is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at Marshall University At Martinsburg, 214 Aviation Way Suite B in Martinsburg, West Virginia 25405, under air agency certificate MU5S407L with location designator 0039. The same certificate covers 3 FAA-listed locations, so this page describes the Martinsburg site only; the 2 other locations are listed below. The address falls in the Hagerstown-Martinsburg, MD-WV metropolitan statistical area.
The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Eastern WV Regional/Shepherd Field (KMRB), a towered field at 565 ft elevation, 1.2 mile from the school's listed address. The listed address is 1.2 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 25405 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 Bravo Flight Training in Martinsburg, WV at 6.6 miles, followed by Winchester, VA KOKV in Winchester at 21 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 no agency phone, email or website for this location, so contact details have to come from the school directly. 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.
