Stratus Financial was born in the toughest days of aviation to keep dreams of flight alive.

By providing student pilots with accessible funding and partnering closely with flight schools, we’ve helped aspiring aviators launch their careers faster and with less stress.
Our partner in providing pilot financing that’s designed around you and your training needs.
FLEXIBLE REPAYMENT OPTIONS
Stratus understands that every pilot’s journey is unique, which is why their Pilot Student Loans offer multiple repayment options tailored to your situation. During the loan approval process, their team will work with you to choose a plan that fits your budget and timeline, helping you focus on training without worrying about rigid repayment schedules.
CREDIT HISTORY
A lower credit score does not automatically disqualify you from receiving a Pilot Student Loan. Stratus Financial evaluates each applicant holistically, considering your overall situation, training goals, and potential. This approach ensures that aspiring pilots with less-than-perfect credit still have a fair chance to access the funding they need to start or continue their flight training.
TRANSPARENT TERMS
Stratus Financial believes in full transparency, so you’ll know exactly what you’re agreeing to before signing. From interest rates to repayment schedules, every detail of your Pilot Student Loan is clearly explained, ensuring there are no surprises. This way, you can move forward with confidence, focusing on your flight training rather than hidden fees or confusing fine print.
