US Aviation Academy Flight Training for Military Veterans works with an approved Collegiate Program for use with Veteran Readiness & Employment (VR&E) previously known as Vocational Rehabilitation (Voc Rehab) and is also known as Chapter 31. This program is similar to the Post 9/11 GI Bill® to cover almost all of the flight training and collegiate costs for eligible Disabled Veterans.

How to Get Approved?

Once you have an assigned Counselor, you will be tasked to convince them as to why changing careers to Aviation is a benefit to you and worthy of investment. You must also demonstrate how your current level of Credentialing (or lack thereof) is hindering your ability for long-term earning potential. Having your Private Pilot Certificate before discussing the program with a Counselor is crucial, as well as having a Class 1 Medical in hand will also allow you to overcome any objection from your Counselor that being a Pilot may aggravate your disability.

VR&E will require that you attend a College for approval. Your goal is a Bachelors of Science in Aviation with your Multi-Engine Instructor certificate. The industry is in need of qualified Multi-Engine Instructors (MEI) and pay an average of $35.00/hour for the position. If you can leverage your education and certification to further your career, you will.
