House OKs Limits to Veterans' Flight Training Benefits
General aviation groups are working to convince lawmakers to scrap efforts to limit the benefits to $20,235.

General aviation groups are vowing to continue the fight to protect veteran flight training benefits after the U.S. House approved a measure to limit those benefits. The House last week passed by voice vote H.R.3016, the Veterans Employment, Education and Healthcare Improvement Act, which overhauls certain benefits administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs. The bill includes language essentially capping veterans' flight-training tuition and fee benefits at public schools at $20,235.
