What Students and Pilots Say

I purchased a "Discovery Flight" for my 16 year old son, who is researching future career ideas before college. The Discovery Flight let him get a first hand look at flying planes and gauge his interest in it. It didn't take long in the air for him to be sold on the idea. Our pilot, Gabe, was great. He walked Wyatt through preflight checklist and explained everything. He really took the time to ensure that my son fel…

I had the pleasure of completing my multi-engine rating with NEU aviation, and I will say it was the most competent and well put together program I have come across in my aviation experience. The school as a whole was very professional. My instructor Jessica, and Colin, the owner, are great in education and demonstration for me. The materials were phenomenal in helping understand the concepts required for my rating…

I recently completed the Multi-Engine Add-On Course with Neu Aviation and couldn’t be more impressed with the experience. Instructor and aircraft availability made scheduling the course easy compared to other programs that currently have extended wait times. The instruction was professional, thorough, and focused being delivered through structured lesson planning. Though the course was on an accelerated timeline, I w…

Great school, effective and very adaptive to busy work schedules. They go the extra mile to make sure you are getting the training you need and the atmosphere is very relaxed/non-stressful. Structured and rapidly growing (for a good reason) but still feels like a small local business. Flawless aircraft, great facilities, and fun/encouraging staff. I can’t recommend Neu Aviation enough.

Planning Your Training Here

Planning training at a local school like Neu 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 Shreveport, the three friction points that stretch part-time timelines.

What Flying in Louisiana Teaches You

Louisiana aviation runs on two economies: the Delta's ag strips working rice and sugarcane, and the Gulf's offshore energy fields, which built one of the world's densest helicopter operations out of Lafayette and Houma. Weather is the subtropical syllabus, morning fog, afternoon buildups, hurricane-season planning, and students learn convective respect early.

How to Evaluate Neu 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 Shreveport means building your early hours in Louisiana 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 Neu 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 Neu 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 Shreveport, 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.
