Part 61 schools, by law, cannot provide instruction beyond the private level to veterans who wish to use their benefits. Classic is approved to train veterans, reservists, and other eligible persons under the provisions of Title 38, U.S. Code. The Veterans Administration will not pay for the Private Pilot rating. Once a veteran has a Private Pilot Certificate and a Second Class Medical Certificate, the VA will reimburse 60% of the veterans training costs for Part 141 approved courses. To learn if you qualify for these benefits and what your personal limit is please call the VA at 1-800-827-1000, or call Classic and we will assist you in these matters.
