Sweet Aviation LLCFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Auburn, Indiana
Sweet Aviation LLC is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at Dekalb County Airport, 210 Co Rd 60 in Auburn, Indiana 46706, under air agency certificate 4SWS285L with location designator 0093. The same certificate covers 2 FAA-listed locations, so this page describes the Auburn site only; the 1 other location is listed below. The address falls in the Auburn, IN micropolitan statistical area.
The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Auburn/Dekalb Executive (KGWB), a non-towered field at 880 ft elevation, 2.8 miles from the school's listed address. The listed address is 2.8 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 46706 ZIP-code centroid and is approximate. 2 public-use airports sit within 10 miles of the address.
Within 100 miles the FAA lists at least five other Part 141 locations; the closest is Falcon Aviation LLC in Kendallville, IN at 14 miles, followed by Sweet Aviation, LLC in Fort Wayne at 15 miles. Indiana has 23 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #6 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Columbus (2), Indianapolis (2) and Marion (2).
The FAA record carries no agency phone, email or website for this location, so contact details have to come from the school directly. 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.
