I took the introductory 2hr course Monday with instructor Sam. He was a very knowledgeable and extremely talented pilot and instructor. He went over the basics of the helicopter controls and how they relate to flight followed with some introductions to the Schweizer 300c pre-flight checklists.

In my 15 years as a fixed wing pilot (commercial, multi-engine, instrument, CFI) I can honestly say my experience with Havens Aviation was second to none. I feel honored by learning from Andrew in my new adventure as a helicopter pilot. The level of knowledge Andrew has in aviation is quite impressive. From instruction to maintenance I always felt as if safety came above all else. Scheduling was a breeze and very acc…

Planning Your Training Here

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

What Flying in Ohio Teaches You

Ohio's aviation roots run to the Wright brothers, and its skies still work for a living: four-season weather, steady airline and cargo traffic, and approachable Class C airspace at Columbus, Cincinnati, and Cleveland. Freight-minded students should note the state's cargo geography in particular.

How to Evaluate Havens 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 Carroll means building your early hours in Ohio 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 Havens 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 Havens 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 Carroll, 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.
