Flight Training

NAICS 611512 · Federal Contracts & Awards

USAspending.gov tags $530,089,379.29 to Flight Training (NAICS 611512) in fiscal year 2025. About twelve percent of this flight-training extract sits on FY2025. Flight training is not other technical and trade schools (611519) and not colleges (611310). That pair is Flight Training (NAICS 611512) and federal fiscal year 2025 — not every federal dollar in FY2025, not Flight Training's $4,491,113,822.42 extract-wide book, and not cash already paid. The cell is 11.8% of this industry's published obligation total. 1,181 is the industry-extract award-record count, not a FY2025-only instrument tally. USAspending.gov is the source. Correlation is not causation.

Key figures

  • Flight Training in FY2025: $530,089,379.29 in USAspending obligations (NAICS 611512).
  • That cell is 11.8% of the industry's $4,491,113,822.42 extract-wide total.
  • 1,181 is the industry-extract award-record count, not a FY2025 census.
  • NAICS 611512 × FY2025 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not a named-recipient list.
  • Cite USAspending.gov; quote /industries/611512/ and /fiscal-years/2025/ if live tables moved.

What the Flight Training–FY2025 join is

NAICS 611512 and fiscal year 2025 meet here. $530,089,379.29 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on the yearlyTrend row that carries both tags. It is not Flight Training's nationwide all-year total of $4,491,113,822.42, not every federal dollar coded to FY2025, and not an outlay register. The packet does not split aircraft types or ratings, or contract from assistance. 1,181 is an industry-extract action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows across years. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a student census, a named-school roster, or a flight-hour log.

Open /industries/611512/ (NAICS 611512) for the industry table without this FY2025 filter, /fiscal-years/2025/ (FY2025 federal spending) for the year table without this NAICS filter, /industries/ (All industries) for every industry, and /ties/ (All spending ties) for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $530,089,379.29. Keep 611512 on FY2025. Educational support (611710) and management-development training (611430) are other education codes.

FY2025 beside the Flight Training longer book

USAspending labels NAICS 611512 as Flight Training. That code produced $530,089,379.29 when crossed with fiscal year 2025. The industry-wide 611512 hub does not require a FY2025 filter. The year hub does not require Flight Training. Only this tie applies both filters. The packet does not split aircraft types or ratings, or contract from assistance. Aircraft-type and rating folklore is not in the packet. This page names no schools and no hours.

Correlation is not causation: FY2025 did not cause $530,089,379.29 by existing as a large or small budget year. The join is 611512 × FY2025 only. This cell is not a student census, a named-school roster, or a flight-hour log. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate. One thousand one hundred eighty-one industry-extract awards describe 611512 across years, not a FY2025 student census.

Questions

How much Flight Training spending is obligated in FY2025?
USAspending.gov lists $530,089,379.29 in Flight Training (NAICS 611512) obligations for FY2025. That yearlyTrend amount is 11.8% of the industry's $4,491,113,822.42 extract-wide total. It is an obligation join, not an outlay and not every federal dollar in FY2025. Unique recipients are unpublished.
Is $530,089,379.29 the entire Flight Training USAspending total?
No. NAICS 611512's extract-wide total is $4,491,113,822.42. FY2025 is 11.8% of that book. Other fiscal-year rows for the same industry are separate cells. Do not add /industries/611512/ into this join. 1,181 award records stay on the industry extract, not on this yearlyTrend row.
Is $530,089,379.29 cash already paid in FY2025?
No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet's headline. Treating $530,089,379.29 as checks already cleared in FY2025 confuses those terms. Prefer the live industry and year hubs if the tables moved.
Where is the live Flight Training–FY2025 table?
/industries/611512/ is the industry parent and /fiscal-years/2025/ is the year parent. /industries/ covers every industry without the NAICS×year intersection as the headline. /ties/ lists other pairs. Those hubs are not addends. Keep both sides of the join when citing $530,089,379.29.

USAspending.gov NAICS yearlyTrend by fiscal year. Obligations are not outlays. FY figures can be incomplete for the current year.
