The FAA aircraft registry lists 13 piston, turboprop or helicopter aircraft with a valid registration under the name of Silver Express Company, with a Florida owner address. The most common are Cessna 172R (4), Cessna 172S (3), Piper PA-28-161 (2), Cessna 172N (2). The median year of manufacture is 1997, so the typical aircraft is about 29 years old.

Aircraft registered to the school in the FAA registry. A registration shows ownership, not use, and leased aircraft will not appear.

Using hourly reports from Miami/Kendall-Tamia, 2021 to 2025, VFR conditions (cloud base above 3,000 feet and visibility above 5 miles) held for 93% of daytime hours, 7am to 7pm local time. IFR or worse conditions made up 2% of daytime hours. May was the clearest month at 97% VFR, and January the least clear at 85%. On about 303 days a year, at least 80% of daytime hours were VFR.

Part 141 lets a flight school hold an FAA certificate for its courses, which follow FAA-approved outlines and FAA inspection. Most US instruction runs under Part 61 instead, so a school without this listing is not necessarily worse.
