Wings Flight Training is approved by the Kentucky State Approving Agency for Veterans Education (SAA) to offer VA  Educational Benefits (GI Bill®) to eligible individuals enrolled in approved programs.

Unsure of your eligibility or have questions about GI Bill entitlement? Contact the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs (1-888-GIBILL1). Eligible students must maintain satisfactory academic process as required to receive VA benefits.

Flight training is available to eligible veterans and reservists. See Chapters 30, 32 and 33, Title 38 USC, Chapter 1606 and Title 10 USC. For instance, only training at Part 141 flight schools is eligible for benefits. Also, students must hold an unrestricted PPL and at least a Class II medical certificate. You must meet these criteria to be eligible for benefits. Next, you must prove Class II privileges prior to the start of each course. Benefits are payable for dual flight, ground school training, and pre/post flight briefings. After that, the VA pays benefits monthly. This is following submission by the school of a “monthly certification of training.” In other words, you must pay attention to all VA details for the reason that they are so specific.

Applicants for Education Benefits (22-1990) and Request of Change of Program of Place of Training (22-5495) should be sent to: VA Regional Office, P.O. Box 888, Muskogee, OK 74402-888.
