Absolutely, as a controller I have written off my flight training as
continuing training for ATC.


I thought the education or training had to be "required" in order to
keep your job or advance in your field.

If the training is required to keep your job it is not deductible, that
statement itself is in the IRS regs. If the training is to improve
yourself and your ability to do your job then it is deductible.


Is flight training really
required by the FAA for controllers?

Not required at all.
