Indian Hills Community College is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at Indian Hills Community College, 14383 College Avenue in Ottumwa, Iowa 52501, under air agency certificate BL9S038R with location designator BL9S. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. The address falls in the Ottumwa, IA micropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Ottumwa Regional (KOTM), a non-towered field at 846 ft elevation, 4.4 miles from the school's listed address. The listed address is 4.4 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 52501 ZIP-code centroid and is approximate. It is the only public-use airport within 10 miles of the address.

Within 100 miles the FAA lists 4 other Part 141 locations; the closest is Atd Pilot Training, LLC in Cedar Rapids, IA at 70 miles, followed by Ajf Enterprises LLC in Des Moines at 72 miles. Iowa has 12 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #18 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Cedar Rapids (2), Sioux City (2) and Ames (1).

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.
