Just completed my UAGs Part 107 test at New Horizons and everything went very well. Rhonda helped me on the phone prior to scheduling the test and was both friendly, professional and very helpful on the phone and during the test - couldn't have asked for more!

Very professional would recommend stopping by to any person heading through. They offer testing a lot of things you want to think a FBO would offer including real estate. Personally I went here for my part 107 but they were pretty great

There are not enough good words I can say about Roger, Rhonda, and the entire staff of New Horizons. I have never felt more welcomed and at home as I did in the month and a half I spent there obtaining an Add-On Commercial rating, my CFI and CFII. Aircraft were all well maintained and well equipped. As someone who travelled 5 hours to get there, and lived in a camper for a month, I would absolutely do it again!

Planning Your Training Here

Planning training at a local school like New Horizons Aviation trades the academy's speed for flexibility and often meaningfully lower total cost. The pay-as-you-fly model keeps your money in your control, and training two to three lessons weekly around work is the proven rhythm, enough frequency to retain skills without the academy's all-in schedule. The variable to manage is momentum: local-school students who succeed book standing lesson slots, fly year-round, and treat ground study as homework rather than something that happens at the airport. Ask about aircraft scheduling depth, instructor availability on your target days, and examiner wait times in Goshen, the three friction points that stretch part-time timelines.

What Flying in Indiana Teaches You

Indiana serves up the full Midwest weather curriculum: four real seasons, frontal systems that teach forecast skepticism, and enough IMC to make an instrument rating genuinely instrument-flown. Terrain is forgiving and flat, airspace is manageable, and Indianapolis gives students big-city Class C experience without coastal congestion.

How to Evaluate New Horizons Aviation on Your Tour

Every school on this directory gets the same advice from us, because the fundamentals don't move. Walk the ramp and count how many aircraft are down for maintenance. Ask how many lessons a week they can actually schedule you, and how far out the booking calendar runs. Ask for first-attempt checkride pass rates and how long students wait for an examiner. And keep your money in your control: pay as you fly, or in small blocks with clear refund terms.

Then weigh the location itself. Training in Goshen means building your early hours in Indiana weather and airspace, and both become part of your airmanship. Our school-selection guide covers the full vetting checklist, and the financing page maps scholarships and loans that apply at schools like this one.

Common Questions About Training at New Horizons Aviation

How long would my training take here?

Part-time students flying two to three lessons weekly typically earn a private certificate in six to twelve months and a commercial certificate in two to three years, with pace set by your calendar and the weather. Consistency decides everything: standing lesson slots beat sporadic bursts by months.

What will it cost, and can I get help paying?

Get New Horizons Aviation's current rates directly; published numbers age fast in this industry. Nationally, plan on $80,000 to $120,000 from zero time to commercial certificates before instructing pay starts offsetting costs. Our financing guide maps the loans, scholarships, and airline cadet programs that apply here, and several scholarship cycles go undersubscribed every single year.

How should I arrange a visit?

Call ahead and ask for a tour on a normal training day, not a quiet one. Use the directions button above to plan the drive to Goshen, arrive early enough to watch ramp operations, and bring the vetting checklist from this page. A school proud of its operation will show you everything; hesitation is itself an answer.
