Correct, part 137 is a no go. The Post 9/11 GI bill covers 100% of costs up to the annual limit at part 141 AND 142 schools. Buyer beware: books are not included (may be negotiable depending on who you talk to at the VA) and neither is the examiners fee for a checkride.

What gives, the VA won't cover $400 and a good bottle of scotch? What's this world coming to...

Yeah Accessibleaviation.com is good. Also, under 9/11 GI bill you can get your check ride fee reimbursed as a test fee. You'll have to claim this with the VA yourself. It'll cost you a month of benefits, but if you're not using the 9/11 GI bill for anything else then it's a good way to get that $400 or whatever back. It doesn't count against the academic year cap for flight training as far as I know.

Does anyone know if it's possible to reimbursed for expenses (using post 9-11) after the fact? I did my ATP practical in Aug and paid out of pocket.

Default Don't think so.

Recommend calling the VA to be certain, but I'm 95% sure the answer is"no".

Yes, that's how it works. You pay first and then claim the test fee after the fact with the VA. You can claim the ATP practical as a certification test. You can also claim the written ATP test as a separate certification test.

Anyone have information on a military-friendly ATP in or around San Diego/Southern California?
