Abstract
This document amends the educational assistance and education benefit regulations of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). It revises the criteria to be used in approving flight courses for the education benefits programs VA administers. In large part, these amendments bring the approval criteria into agreement with various provisions of the Veterans' Benefits Improvements Act of 1996 and with the current regulations of the Federal Aviation Administration. Without the changes made by this document, VA would not be able to provide educational assistance for veterans to attend affected flight courses. This document also makes other changes for the purpose of clarification.
