Montgomery GI Bill Reimbursable Costs The Montgomery GI Bill reimbursement policy of the VA for flight training is limited to 60% of costs up to the maximum number of hours approved for dual instruction for both flight and ground training. The maximum hours are based on the FAA Regulations Part 141 for each certificate or rating sought. This reimbursement is paid to you by the VA on a monthly basis, and is calculated based on the total cost of actual training you received. This information is documented on the VA's Monthly Certification report and submitted to the VA by Horizon Flight Center. The policy excludes reimbursement for any hours over the approved maximum, FAA medical exams, books, or other materials whether they are required or not. The policy may include, at your request, reimbursement for your FAA written exams and FAA practical check-rides. When you meet with our staff, we can provide you with a reasonable estimate of the expected total VA program cost for the course(s) you choose. Exact costs will depend on the your progress, since students must train to FAA Practical Test Standards. Additional factors can include general aptitude, study habits, and personal motivation. Payment for all charges incurred for aircraft rental and instruction are due upon completion of each training session. Payment can be made with a credit card, or debit card, as well as cash or check.
Post 9/11 GI Bill The post 9/11 GI Bill will cover up to 100% of your flight training with no out of pocket expense to you. This is limited to $10,000 per academic year. (This resets in August every year) Second class medical is required. To begin a student must have an eligibility letter from the VA. Since the flight school is paid directly for all flight training, the student does not need to pay for any training. The student will be essentially extended credit on receipt of the eligibility letter.
Attendance Requirements VA requires students to complete a minimum amount of training during the reporting period as follows:
This is an excellent way to use your GI Bill or Veterans Funds to complete flight training and earn your pilots license.
