Silverhawk Aviation Academy, LLCFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Caldwell, Idaho

Silverhawk Aviation Academy, LLC is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 4505 Aviation Way in Caldwell, Idaho 83605, under air agency certificate SILS389L with location designator SILS. The same certificate covers 2 FAA-listed locations, so this page describes the Caldwell site only; the 1 other location is listed below. The address falls in the Boise City, ID metropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Caldwell Executive (KEUL), a non-towered field at 2,431 ft elevation, 1.7 miles from the school's listed address. The listed address is 1.7 miles from that field, close enough that the aircraft are most likely based there, but confirm the training airport before comparing hourly rates. The Census geocoder could not match the FAA street address to a rooftop, so this distance is measured from the 83605 ZIP-code centroid and is approximate. 2 public-use airports sit within 10 miles of the address.

Within 100 miles the FAA lists 2 other Part 141 locations; the closest is Aviation Specialties Unlimited Inc in Boise, ID at 22 miles, followed by Ontario Satellite in Ontario at 31 miles. Idaho has 2 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #47 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Boise (1) and Caldwell (1).

The FAA record carries an agency phone number, (208) 453-8577, and an agency email, fly@silverhawkaviation.net; it carries no website, so the contact details above are the only ones the FAA publishes for this location. Certification under Part 141 means the FAA has approved the school's training course outlines, facilities and chief-instructor arrangements and inspects them; it is not a quality ranking, and it does not by itself mean the school is VA-approved for GI Bill funding or accredited for federal student aid.
