Looking for a clarification. From what I understand, the GI Bill will give you about $13K per year to use for strictly flight training. BUT, if you go to Liberty, they'll take your GI Bill and you can get more than $13K because they'll code it as a class. I think I keep seeing $22K as the annual cap or something. So, in short, because they are coding the flight training as a course and not technical training, you're getting $22K worth of flight training for the year instead of the $13K. Plus the R-ATP mins reduction and a degree. Is this right? I already have a degree, so I can transfer some coursework, use 9 months of GI Bill benefits or spread the GI bill benefits over 2 years, and snag a second degree, reduced mins, and turn $13K into $22K. That would make a big difference. Just want to make sure, this seems like a sweet/smart deal to me. Thanks for your help on this!

Has anyone used the Post 9/11 to pay for the PPL through Liberty as I’ve read it can be done if going through a 4 year college.

I didn’t go through Liberty but I did go the college route to pay for flight training. I went to a community college that essentially did the same as Liberty and coded the flight training as labs and I paid the school directly through the GI Bill.

I wasn’t sure if anywhere was allowed to do that anymore and/or that there had been limits imposed (as posted above) since there was a big scandal associated with flight schools committing fraud.

Anyway, I was able to do private on up through the college and didn’t come out of pocket for anything using Post 9/11. Good luck!

Any former rotary wing pilots out there that got their fixed wing certificates through Liberty Online?

I understand you can use the Post 9/11 GI Bill to pay for PPL at Liberty if you are a resident student, but not for online. I have my commercial rotorcraft w/ instrument from my military time, and saw Liberty offered as an elective for the Aviation major "AVIA 334 - Rotor Fix-Wing Com/Inst Trans". I asked the military affairs office if this was covered by the Post 9/11 GI Bill, and they gave me a generic "any course required for the degree will be covered" response. This course satisfies 3 of the required 15 credits in advanced core courses for the major, but I wanted to confirm from someone else that had gone this route.
