Teen becomes UK’s youngest qualified commercial pilot

少年成为英国最年轻的合格商业飞行员

An 18-year old has become the UK’s youngest qualified commercial pilot — after his mom sold the family home to help fund his dreams.

一名18岁的少年成为英国最年轻的合格商业飞行员,此前他的母亲为了资助他的梦想卖掉了家里的房子。

Seth Van Beek got his license to fly passenger airliners after he completed 18 months of training and clocked up 150 hours in the air before he passed with flying colors.

经过18个月的训练,塞斯·范·比克获得了驾驶客机的执照,他在空中飞行了150个小时才顺利通过考试。

He set his sights on being a pilot since the age of eight, and selfless single mom Frances, 42, sold their three-bedroom home to fund his dream.

他从8岁起就立志成为一名飞行员,42岁无私的单身母亲弗朗西丝(Frances)为了实现他的梦想,卖掉了他们的三居室。

Van Beek, from Preston, London, is now the UK’s youngest licensed commercial aviator — a record previously held by Luke Elsworth, who became a pilot at 19.

来自伦敦普雷斯顿的范·比克现在是英国最年轻的注册商业飞行员,此前的记录由19岁成为飞行员的卢克·埃尔斯沃斯保持。

He had to move to Greece for the intensive $110,592 flight school course and is now looking for a job. He hopes to one day fly for British Airways.

如今他不得不为了110,592美元的密集飞行学校课程搬到希腊,现在正在找工作。他希望有一天能乘坐英国航空公司的飞机。

“My mom was an avid traveler when she was younger, and when I was a boy she’d take us on holiday to see the world. I loved everything about flying — even the fact that a 300-tonne tube of metal can basically be shot up into the air and fly for up to 12 hours. As I grew up, my love became a passion, and I’m so grateful that the experience of training didn’t discourage me like training can.”

“我妈妈年轻的时候是一个狂热的旅行者,当我还是个孩子的时候,她会带我们去度假看世界。我喜欢飞行的一切——即使是300吨重的金属管基本上可以飞到空中长达12个小时。随着我的成长,我的爱变成了一种激情,我很感激训练的经历没有像训练那样让我气馁。”

Van Beek said he took “very naturally to flying” and describes it as “an honor.”

范·比克说,他“很自然地”喜欢飞行,并把飞行描述为“一种荣誉”。

One of 14 students, the teen sat through 14 exams, alternating between learning theory and practical flying at Kavala International Airport every three months.

这名学生是14名学生中的一员,他参加了14次考试,每三个月在卡瓦拉国际机场(Kavala International Airport)学习理论和实践之间转换。

He took to the skies up five times-a-week during his practical stints, initially for just 60 minutes, but eventually flying for five hours over Greece.

在实习期间,他每周飞行五次,最初只飞行了60分钟,但最终在希腊上空飞行了5个小时。

His average exam score was an impressive 90.6 percent and he graduated in September at the top of his class, getting his license from the European Aviation Safety Agency a month later.

他的平均考试成绩达到了令人印象深刻的90.6%,9月份以全班第一的成绩毕业,一个月后从欧洲航空安全局(European Aviation Safety Agency)拿到了驾照。

The new pilot said he was inspired by his mother, Frances, who had “always supported my dreams and told me that I could make it if I worked hard.”

这位新飞行员说,他的灵感来自母亲弗朗西丝(Frances),她“一直支持我的梦想,告诉我只要努力,就能实现梦想”。

Egnatia Aviation Training College said that of 1,500 former students to graduate with the Greek school since 2006, Van Beek was the youngest.

埃格纳蒂亚航空培训学院(Egnatia Aviation Training College)表示,自2006年以来,在这所希腊学校毕业的1500名学生中,范比克是最年轻的。

And the Civil Aviation Authority said the youngest qualified pilots from 2018 were two 21-year-old males — three years Van Beek’s senior.

民航局表示,2018年起最年轻的合格飞行员是两名21岁的男性,比凡·比克年长3岁。
