Veterans Benefits at Century Air at Essex County Airport (KCDW)
Century Air proudly offers Veterans benefits (VA) to the men and women who have served in our armed forces. Century Air is an FAA Approved Part 141 school that is authorized to train eligible veterans for vocational flight training. There are several prerequisites for a veteran to be eligible for this program, most importantly, the applicant must possess at least a private pilot certificate, and qualify to hold a FAA second class medical certificate.
Interested veterans must apply to their local controlling VA office to determine the amount of funds available for training, and then apply to Century Air for enrollment in the appropriate course. Veterans may be eligible for reimbursement of flight training costs under the GI Bill. The amount of funding available depends on your specific GI Bill chapter and eligibility. Contact the Department of Veterans Affairs at benefits.va.gov/gibill or call 1-888-442-4551 to determine the funds available for your training.
