Rising Wings Aviation IncFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Casper, Wyoming
Rising Wings Aviation Inc is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 700 East 1st Street in Casper, Wyoming 82601, under air agency certificate RWAS026M with location designator RWAS. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. The address falls in the Casper, WY metropolitan statistical area.
The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Irwins Sky Ranch (KHAD), a non-towered field at 5,370 ft elevation, 5.1 miles from the school's listed address. The listed address is 5.1 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. 2 public-use airports sit within 10 miles of the 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 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.
