Gateway Technical CollegeFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Kenosha, Wisconsin

Gateway Technical College is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 4940 88th Ave in Kenosha, Wisconsin 53144, under air agency certificate OOLS052K with location designator OOLS. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. The address falls in the Kenosha, WI metropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Kenosha Regional (KENW), a towered field at 743 ft elevation, 0.7 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. 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 PWK Satellite in Wheeling, IL at 32 miles, followed by Pilotsmith Inc in Milwaukee at 36 miles. Wisconsin has 7 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #30 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Appleton (1), Green Bay (1) and Janesville (1).

The FAA record carries an agency phone number, (262) 564-3900, 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.
