Choice Aviation LLCFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Cody, Wyoming
Choice Aviation LLC is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 3001 Duggleby Drive, PO Box 1570 in Cody, Wyoming 82414, under air agency certificate VPES116U with location designator 5VPS. The same certificate covers 2 FAA-listed locations, so this page describes the Cody site only; the 1 other location is listed below. The address falls in the Cody, WY micropolitan statistical area.
The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Yellowstone Regional (KCOD), a non-towered field at 5,102 ft elevation, 30 miles from the school's listed address. The listed address is 30 miles from that field, so it may be an administrative or campus address rather than the ramp; ask the school where its training aircraft are actually based. The Census geocoder could not match the FAA street address to a rooftop, so this distance is measured from the 82414 ZIP-code centroid and is approximate. No public-use airport lies within 10 miles of the listed address.
No other Part 141 location appears in the FAA list within 100 miles, so a student here has no certificated alternative without relocating, which is worth weighing against a Part 61 instructor nearby. Wyoming has 3 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #46 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Casper (1), Cheyenne (1) and Cody (1).
The FAA record carries an agency phone number, (307) 587-9262, 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.
