[Tallahassee, Florida, January 7, 2025] – Sterling Flight Training is excited to announce that its Tallahassee location, following FAA Part 141 approval in September, is now eligible to accept VA education benefits. These benefits include the Montgomery GI Bill, Post-9/11 GI Bill, and Veteran Readiness & Employment (VR&E). This milestone marks a significant step forward in Sterling Flight Training’s commitment to providing top-tier flight training solutions and meeting the growing demand for skilled pilots in the region.
“This approval is a testament to our dedication to supporting our veterans and their educational goals,” said Wayne Heller, CEO and President of Sterling Flight Training. “As the nation continues to face a pilot shortage, we are thrilled to offer a pathway for veterans to leverage their benefits and pursue rewarding careers in aviation. This growth also positions our Tallahassee location as a key hub for flight training in the Southeast.”
The ability to accept VA benefits will open new doors for veterans and service members seeking comprehensive flight training programs. With its FAA Part 141 approval, Sterling Flight Training Tallahassee provides structured and efficient training paths designed to help students achieve their aviation goals, whether they aspire to become private pilots or advance to professional aviation careers.
Looking ahead, Sterling Flight Training is committed to expanding opportunities for its students. In 2025, the Tallahassee location anticipates becoming an approved flight training affiliate for Liberty University, pending final approval.
