Flight training is ONLY covered if it is packaged as part of an actual degree program at an IHL (Institution of Higher Learning). This means that you would have to enroll in a 4-year (or possibly two year) degree program to obtain flight training.
It might be possible to game the system: enroll, get the flight training you need, and then quit but usually the flight training is a structured part of the curriculum vice a la carte.
I saw an *unofficial* blurb from the VA that the law is a bit gray on the vocational training so they will continue to cover many things with the 9/11 GIBill that they did with CH 30 until congress tells them not to.
