Not only beautiful but also smart and determined, a great girl that you are

In 2016, I had aspirations of becoming a pilot and I was in a similar financial situation as you were. However, I decided to try the Canadian Armed Forces because they are the only employer around here that offers a pilot position including training. Unfortunately, I did not score high enough on four of their aptitude tests so they did not select me for training. It sounds like a fun career! Thank you for sharing your experiences in these videos. :)

You're just amazing, from your head to your toes, instead to out. Upside down, the right side up....... You must be what's classed as a high achiever. Certainly very intelligent, hard working and dedicated. All the best to you.

I love your perseverance and determination to accomplish your goal!!

well done for putting this video together.. more honest and open assessments for real pilot training. I spent NZ14000 getting my PPL , it has now jumped to 20000, and commercial at the time (20 years ago) was 50000, now no change from around 70000...

Very smart, very goal oriented and very successful. Very Impressive.

At the KLM Flight Academy they have a new finance deal. If you dont get hired in KLM within 5 years after the education all funds will be payed by KLM and refunded. You’re guaranteed a job in KLM after the KLM flight academy! :)

You’re my inspiration. I’m 16 and I recently realized how much I want to become a pilot but my parents keep telling me that it’s impossible because we don’t have the money. But I’m gonna keep looking for ways to make my dream a reality. I’m thinking of trying to get a loan and going to a flight school in Canada or the us, because here in japan, flight training costs about four times the amount it costs in those countries. But even then, it’s much too expensive for my family to pay off so I’m currently trying to do more research on different kinds of loans that I can get. Wish me luck:)

I think in most Western countries, the state is the ultimate guarantor of the loans, specifically, student loans. In the US, we have a lot of problem when colleges overcharge for mediocre education and the hapless students got stuck with the high loan amount. The colleges do not fear of not getting the money because the loans are guaranteed by the tax payers. ;(

In the aftermatch of the Germanwings FO crashing the plane, this huge financial pressure was also discussed. It's no excuse, of course not, but it's likely that it was one of the reasons he kept his medical problems a secret and then also psychologically was on a downward spiral. I guess with the Covid situation the financial pressure got really tough for many young pilots as well. And this is bad. Financial debt can be crippling to one's abilities, and the last thing I would want being on a plane is a flight crew that is stressed to the max and under pressure because of a huge debt. 😕😕

Nice video! Yes we have the Swedish government sponsored training but its sooo hard to get a spot there. BUT there are other ways around it without the need of rich parents, I worked for years to get a part of the training costs financed and the period of hard work before I started and all preparations really made me dedicated to fix this (especially ATPL which I do the CAA exams for right now) Keep up the good work =)

In Norway, you can get a loan from something that we call "Lånekassen", it's where students get their student loans etc. Some of it will be converted into a stipend (if you pass your exams) , but the rest is a loan that you have to pay back. Recently, the government raised the amount that you can loan, so that you now can finance your pilot training in full (it's cheaper in Norway, at least at my ATO, it's about 73-75k euro for 2 years. It gives you PPL, CPL IR/ME plus ATPL credits).

Hi, i live in sweden and the government are NOT PAYING for the pilotraining, the CSN just give you some money after high school but it is still not enough, so most people who are going to became pilots already have a job which allows them to borrow from the bank. But if you not have a job it will be really hard for the person that going to pay alone.

I must say well done, flying is brilliant and if you can do it and get paid, I feel your blessed. Take care. Regards Gary

in the usa , most pilots pay for a few courses at a time and get experience as an instructor for the previous lower courses.. this gives them flight hours for free and time to work on the next rating.. there are advanced schools.. but most of those students are foreigners that can afford those high costs.. most american pilots probably spend 50k to become a jet pilot and a 1000 hours.. but its a slow process and many do spend more for faster fulltime courses.... hugggs dear

It is interesting to hear how you got started and great that you got to where you are. When I left school it is what I wanted to do. Like you here you have to fund your own training znd there is no guarantee that you will have a job. You were also expected to have a BGT, multi- engine endorsement, SCPL and Class 1 rating plus a few thousand hours logged. I don't think it has changed much. People worked as flight instructors or small feeder airlines (if you were lucky) with the hope of finding a job with the big boys before you reached 26 years old and became too old for srlection. At the time I was trying to get started the airlines had a ready pool of experienced ex-military pilots king courtesy of the Vietnam war. I never made the airlines or anywhere else in aviation, but after 20 years I had ticked most of the boxes. That's life. You have enjoy and most of all have fun.

That's wonderful you were able to do this to fulfill your dream! :) I am still trying to get my dream started, working my options with financing to pay for aviation school :) wishing and hoping I can get it done soon so I can be flying a 737 like you

Hey so what happens are you a pilot now?

As I told under another video, in our European country - Latvia, with a minimal salary about 300eur and average with about 600, even with a really good salary which is considered to be between 1200..2500, it is almost impossible to pay for the loan, especially, if You are paying rent, feeding family. Someone told that You can try work for 4 years and then go for loan... as You see - it is still so small number, but training and instructions cost about the same. The most realistic way is to have some property from heritage, wining lottery, bank robbery or really rich parents.

Hi Dutch pilot girl, you should be so proud of yourself for what you have achieved, especially considering that you have funded your education for your pilots license yourself. I did a similar thing with my HGV class one driving license, I earned it, just like you've done by paying for the training yourself. Ok you win hands down, pilots license v's HGV.... Lol. But I'm sure you understand what I mean. I've only just started watching your flight landings that I enjoy watching. Thank you for sharing your video's on youtube. Keep up the good work and congratulations.

I am glad you did what you wanted to do. There is a saying where there is a will, there is a way. As I said in one of your previous videos. I always wanted to be a Flight Purser, but never succeeded. I wanted to join the merchant navy and did not succeed there too. So I eventually moved to Perth. I am happy with what I have achieved. I enjoy your videos. When I fly to Bali or Thailand. I sit on the beach and watch the planes taking off and landing. Well I am a firm believer. Like in your case, you made all the necessary sacrifices to borrow a lot money to achieve your dream. Now that you have achieved your dream. You can pay that loan back. I have a lot of school friends that have joined the merchant navy or the airlines. I wish you all the best.

The cost for the training is my biggest obstacle for starting it :/

DutchPilotGirl Awesome Stuff !

I was in the military but they cut out the GI Bill for the time I served. After the military I went to college and worked 2 jobs, borrowed money, and was a full time student. AFTER I graduated they reinstated the GI Bill but would not pay my loans, but I could take additional courses and the GI Bill would pay for the NEW courses. I got my pilot's license at my own expense but used the GI Bill to pay for Instrument, commercial, and multi-engine licenses and certifications. Enjoyed flying very much. Where I live are lots of mountains and instrument flying. Favorite single is the Pilatus C10. Have a great day!

Great video! I'm battering ebay and paying for training on a 'pay as you go' basis. I will do this!!! :-)

I have a question, does it matter which country you do you training from? I'm in uk starting my pilot course next year Sep. UK aviation training is too expensive, so I was hoping to do the training elsewhere?

Here in Finland the cost is 10% of that (in the cheapest flight school) :P The government helps a lot with the funding/costs since it owns most of the flight school and thats why it is so cheap..

Hi there. I found this quite informative. You mentioned your side-business for paying off your loan, what exactly is it - the monetisation from youtube channel? Also, the title is "How I payed my loan", yet at the time it's recorded you say that you still have the loan - what side-business do you recommend as being realistically able to pay off such a large debt. Thank you

What percentage of your courses were math-based? I am good at math but heard that the majority of pilot courses are high-level math, which scares me a bit. I took a summer flight course that was pretty easy but am not sure if it is representative of the whole experience

How did you make the repayments/monthly instalments during the time of studies.? Does the initial instalment commence after starting work as a pilot..?

Thanks for helping

You trained at Oxford? How did you secure the loan? Do you have a house to secure it against, or did your parents let you secure it against theirs? Just curious because I've looked into that route, and all the loans available for this must be secured against property. They don't give unsecured loans for that amount.

I like the photo frames on the wall. Where did you get these?

I am working and doing pilot training step by step. For example for CPL(A) you need 200h flight time. I try to get as much hours I can on towing gliders. It's like flying for free. But on towing it take much time to get many hours. On a very very very good weekend I can get 5 hours maybe. So you can imagine how much I time you need to get 200h flight time on towing gliders...

You are great also because of your selfmade career! In Switzerland there is a possiblity to enter in the military aircraft just at 17 and this nearly for free. After this you have the possibility to make courses for civil aviation: as a swiss military pilot, this is only a complementary thing.

"I have very rich parents and they paid for everything" hahaha I thought the video would end there.

Beautiful!!!

Hey Michelle Do you recommend me being a pilot, I mean is it a good career in the long Run? Also did you pay out your loan and how long did it take you ? Thanks Michelle

In the US, I'm getting a 4 year degree with my ratings for under $100k USD. On the other hand, I need my 1500 hours and ATP to work an airline. So, CFI and banner towing are pretty much 95% of my options.

In the US, one way to pay for your education is to join any of the arm forces - perhaps the air force.

that's a lot of money!I went to the USA I completed my flight training from 0 hours to -single-multi engine commercial with around 43000 us dollars.The average monthly rent was 350 (with utilities included) add 150-200 more for food(anual cost for rent and food 6000-7000 usd).It took around 10-11 months to get my cpl.I returned to europe and I completed the conversion course which costed 11 000 euros plus 2000 euros for the MCC.Total cost for EASA and FAA commercial license 65000 euros give or take.Less than half of what it costs in Europe.Go to America people their training and flying is way better(my personal opinion).

You really need to be determined and have the grades to be able to get that airline position. Funding your flight school privately is undoubtedly costly, it would be good to hear from pilots who spent the cash but didn't quite cut it to get that well paying airline job. It would give a reality check for those that are dreaming about it, and what sort of job to expect if you don't do so well.

Stunning
