Western Air Flight Academy is approved by the Colorado State Approving Agency to offer Veteran Benefits.

A Veteran may use his or her benefits for flight training and be reimbursed for a percentage of the flight training costs.  The courses that Western Air Flight Academy is approved for currently are the Instrument Pilot Rating, and Commercial Pilot-Single-Engine Land Ratings.

To be eligible you must have a Private Pilots License and Class 2 medical. To start you must fill out the VA form 22-1990; you can download the application from the VA’s Website and file it electronically. If you are currently enrolled in another school, such as a college or tech school and receiving benefits, file VA Form 22-1995. Once you have completed the form, bring a copy of the filed form into the school along with your DD-214, if you are in the Guard or Reserves a copy of your NOBE (Notice of Basic Eligibility).

Western Air Flight Academy will at the end of each month will hand in a training log. Your training activities will then be certified by the VA. Payments will be sent to you the student directly from the VA. This normally takes 2-4 weeks after you receive the training certifications from our school. You can pick up a copy of the Veterans Information Bulletin (VIB) for a full explanation of the programs.
