Career Pilot Training for Veterans
The Biggest Flight School in America Now Offers VA Benefits
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has approved ATP’s Airline Career Pilot Program for reimbursement under the Montgomery GI Bill. You won’t find a better value in professional pilot training for veterans.
All flight training for the VA-approved curriculum is accomplished at ATP’s Jacksonville, FL flight school under FAA-approved 141 flight training courses.
The VA-approved Airline Career Pilot Program includes the same certificates and flight time as our Part 61 Airline Career Pilot Program.

Testimonials
“I am writing to you to inform you of my recent experience as a student with ATP and to give some insight as to the professionalism of the instructors and the training environment.
My training began as a zero time student and I completed the SEL commercial certificate well within the projected 5 month training schedule when you take into account that I was leaving for four days at a time every month to fulfill my National Guard duty.
When I started the program I was a commercial helicopter pilot for the Army, trained at Fort Rucker, AL. The ATP part 141 training program is a very intense and arduous program that is greatly eased by the professionalism of the instructors.
My experience at ATP has been awesome! I have completed the course with the confidence and knowledge I need to continue my career in aviation and I owe all the instructors a great deal of gratitude for their efforts.”
