Modular Pilot Training Steps Frequently Asked Questions
Are there any flight training finance specialists?
Most specialist lending for pilot training is now tough to come by and scarce. The usual high street lending still exists though.
Should I get a loan for pilot training?
Everyone’s situation is different. From what I know now, professional pilot employment will be challenging to come by. Those lucky enough to find work will most likely be on self-employed and seasonal contracts to begin with.
Salaries have also been significantly cut since COVID and will probably never return to their previous levels. Knowing what I know now, I would be cautious in taking out large flying loans as they may prove difficult, if not impossible to pay back given the current state of pilot recruitment and the huge numbers of pilots outside of work.
I would love to hear from you if you have any questions on modular pilot training steps! Please leave me a comment in the section below.
