As an accomplished pilot with over 1000 flight hours logged, I bring a substantial and diverse range of experience to the aviation industry. My journey has included roles in commercial and private aviation, consistently prioritizing passenger safety and compliance with stringent regulations. Notably, I have also served as a flight instructor at Mainland Air, where I've imparted my knowledge and passion for aviation to aspiring pilots. My aviation career began in Wanaka, where I took my first flying job, contributing to my well-rounded understanding of the industry. During my time in Wanaka, I gained invaluable experience in mountain flying and terrain awareness, which has enhanced my skills and situational awareness in challenging environments. I completed my pilot training in Christchurch, which provided me with a solid foundation in aviation. My dedication to precision, efficiency, and continuous improvement, combined with the ability to maintain composure under pressure, makes me a dependable asset in any cockpit. I am eager to leverage my expertise and instructional background to enhance the capabilities of a dynamic aviation team committed to excellence.
