This is Cirrusly the best flight school you can attend. So why don’t you soar on over to KLFT and get some training?!? With the incredible instructors they have you will glide right through the courses. Did you know they have aircraft simulators to help your aviation journey takeoff? What about the fact they can help you land a new career with their commercial training? What if you aren’t sure flying is your thing? H…

Best flight training school within the area for many reasons. The instructors are very dedicated to what they do here, price is great, and most importantly they take care of and maintain their planes to an extreme level of quality (most important). It is an awesome environment to be in this school. I got my PPL here, currently working on my Instrument rating and will be doing Commercial and CFI all here at Owen’s. In…

I have done all my training from private to, now, training for CFI and couldn’t be more happy with my decision. The instructors and Ryan are awesome and truly care about the success of their students! With their help, I have gotten to this point in 7 months. Highly recommend this flight school to anyone who plans on getting their pilots license.

Planning Your Training Here

Planning training at a local school like Owens Flight Training, LLC 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 Lafayette, 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 Owens Flight Training, LLC 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 Lafayette 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 Owens Flight Training, LLC

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 Owens Flight Training, LLC'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 Lafayette, 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.
