TransPac VA Program - Your Bridge to the Skies

Veteran's Education Benefits and Assistance Program

If you have any current aviation experience or if you are looking to aviation as a career upon separation from the military, TransPac Aviation Academy will assist you in the transition from military to career pilot.

TransPac Aviation Academy is recognized and approved by the Veterans Administration (VA). The new Montgomery GI Bill (33) is currently under review and will become available to veterans as of August 2009.

Right now, under the current bill (30) you can be reimbursed up to 60 percent of our VA-approved Career Pilot Program, excluding the private pilot core.
