Commercial Airline Pilot Training (CAPT) Program
Receives V.A. Approval


Palm Coast, FL - July 18, 2007

CAPT
CAPT offers in-flight training in Cirrus SR-20 and Piper PA-44 Seminole planes.

Commercial Airline Pilot Training (CAPT) Program announced today that it is pleased to add VA Benefits as a financing option for its students. CAPT has now been approved by the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide flight training to Veterans with GI Bill Benefits.

"We are very excited to be able to offer VA benefits at CAPT. Anytime we can assist our servicemen and women with the expertise of our flight training program, we are pleased," said Patrick Murphy, Executive Director of CAPT, LLC. "Many of our staff and board members served in the armed forces and work to provide benefits to our veterans whenever possible."

CAPT offers a full-immersion, one-year program that trains individuals with as little as no flight experience to the highest standards of the commercial airline industry. It uses the latest technologies to deliver airline-specific training, including in-flight video cameras, self-reflecting journaling, line operations safety audits, and a curriculum built on a foundation of crew concepts and crew resource management. Simulation is used extensively in the curriculum and includes Avionics Systems Trainers, Advanced Aviation Training Devices, and Level 6 Flight Training Devices. In-flight training is conducted in brand-new Cirrus SR-20 and Piper PA-44 Seminole Aircraft. Both aircraft utilize full-glass panel cockpit displays similar to those found in commercial aviation. CAPT has 30 Cirrus and 12 Piper aircraft either on site or scheduled for near-term delivery.
