There are no reasonable financial solutions available to student pilots to help fund their training. Currently the only options available to many people are to remortgage their house or get a loan from a bank with an exceptionally high interest rate. It is essential in order to meet the demand for new pilots in the coming years that an affordable funding solution like a student loan should be given to student pilots to allow more individuals to be able to access this career and not be in large amounts of high interest debt.
