As you might be aware, there have been some significant changes over the past few months regarding the use of Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits for flight training. We have been working closely with our partner Portland Community College (PCC) and veterans benefits agencies both on a state and national level to help protect veterans hard-earned benefits.
To that end, we are happy to announce that the VA will continue to pay for the private pilot training course through PCC for the upcoming spring term. Applications for the spring term are now available on PCC's website. The deadline to apply is February 1, 2016.
If you have any additional questions about our program or using your GI Bill benefits, please contact our admissions team at flightschool@flyhaa.com or 503.726.3000.
