VA Approved Flight Schools in Alaska

Veterans, with a passion for flying, know they can soar into the wild blue yonder with extended benefits through the GI Bill 2.0 as part of the Post 911 Veterans Educational Assistance Improvements Act of 2010. Previously, vocational and VA approved flight schools in Alaska were not covered, but as of October 1, 2011, such training is covered.

Regardless of your VA benefits, your Private Pilot's license is required as the first step in your pilot training. In the case of VA approved flight schools in Alaska, those costs will run you about $12,000, no matter where you go for flight training, whether it is a "VA-approved" (Part 141)" flight school or to a flight school that is Part 61 school in that is not VA approved. Regarding VA approved Part 61 flight training, the VA will not help you with any of those costs associated with a Private Pilot License. So your decision on where you go for your initial Private Pilot training should be based on the top school available in Alaska, your VA benefits, and whether your school of choice in Alaska is "VA-approved."
