Olivier van Dijk

Pilot and Flight Instructor

My name is Olivier, and I’m a passionate pilot and certified flight instructor with a strong focus on general aviation. With an EASA (f)ATPL and multiple ratings — including SEP, MEP, SE-IR, ME-IR, UPRT, Aerobatics, MCC, and FI (LAPL, PPL, CPL, IR, SEP, Night, FCL.945) — as well as an FAA PPL with SEL, MEL, and IR, I bring broad experience in both instruction and operational flying.

In my full-time position at Bluetail Aviation, I provide flight training on Cirrus aircraft for PPL, Instrument Rating, and Night Rating. I also accompany clients on exclusive flying adventures as a safety pilot — combining their desire to fly with the convenience of a fully arranged trip, including hotels, excursions, and flight planning.

In addition to this role, I work as a freelance pilot for various organizations. This includes banner towing in a Piper Super Cub and providing instruction at the flying club where I first learned to fly.

My passion lies in exploring the world through the freedom of light aircraft, while inspiring and teaching others to do the same. To support aspiring pilots, I’ve also created a website where users can practice PPL (A/H) theory exam questions.
