About
Equus Flight Academy LLC was founded by aviation enthusiasts from Salem, Indiana who wanted to bring professional flight training back to their hometown and expand access to aviation careers for students in Washington County and surrounding southern Indiana communities. Located at Salem Municipal Airport (I83), Equus offers FAA Part 141 certificated instruction designed to take students from their very first discovery flight to a Private Pilot Certificate in as few as 35 hours — a testament to the structured, efficient training approach enabled by Part 141 certification. The school has established a partnership with Indiana Wesleyan University, making it an approved flight training partner for IWU's online aviation degree programs. Equus also runs a Sky Explorers Summer Camp for 9th-through-12th-grade students, introducing young people to aviation and inspiring the next generation of pilots. The founders' personal ties to Salem give Equus Flight Academy a deep community focus, and the school is committed to making flight training accessible and affordable for students who might otherwise overlook aviation as a career path. Equus Flight Academy's presence in Salem represents a meaningful investment in southern Indiana's aviation future.
