Craven Community College
D2 Flight Academy and Craven Community College (Craven CC) are partnered in the Aviation Management and Career Pilot Technology program. The Aviation and Career Pilot Technology program at Craven CC offers an exciting opportunity for potential aviators to earn an associate degree in conjunction with the flight training required for a professional pilot. This program is open to all eligible students to include military veterans and high school graduates. This is a unique program that streamlines the learning process allowing future pilots to earn their degree and license in two years. The student will undergo a challenging curriculum that combines classroom, simulator and flight training. The graduate will leave the program with 300 hours of flight time and all the necessary experience for a career with commercial airlines, general aviation, the aerospace industry or in state and federal aviation organizations.
VA Benefits
D2 Flight Academy is approved by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Eligible students can use VA backed educational programs (Montgomery GI Bill Chapter 30, or Post 9/11 GI Bill Chapter 33) to cover the costs of pilot training.
The Montgomery GI Bill reimbursement policy for flight training is limited to 60% of cost up to the maximum number of hours approved for dual instruction for both flight and ground training. The maximum hours are based on the FAA Regulations Part 141 for each certificate or rating sought. This reimbursement is paid to you by the VA on a monthly basis and is calculated based on the total cost of actual training you received. The VA policy excludes reimbursement for any hours over the approved maximum.
The post 9/11 GI Bill will assist in the cost of flight training with minimal out-of-pocket expenses to you. To begin, a student must have an eligibility letter from the VA. D2 Flight Academy is paid directly for all approved flight training by the VA. The student is essentially extended credit on receipt of the VA eligibility letter. The VA policy excludes reimbursement for any hours over the approved maximum, FAA medical exams, training kits, books, or other materials whether they are required or not. Veteran’s must sign a D2 Flight Academy Training Agreement.
