Flying History

I started flying in 1996 with the Oxford University Gliding Club (OUGC),operating at RAF Bicester, Oxfordshire. Training was provided by RAF pilots/instructors in ASK 21's towards a BGA Gliding Certificate, which I obtained in 1999. After completing a Bachelor of Arts degree (2000) I began training for my PPL at Pilot Flight Training (PFT) at Oxford Airport (Kidlington), which I obtained in April 2001. I also gained a Night Qualification and passed the AOPA Aerobatics course at PFT after which I decided to train for an ATPL (Airline Transport Pilot Licence) on a full time basis. In June 2001 I enrolled on an approved modular course leading to a CPL/IR(ME) with frozen ATPL at LidAir, operating at Bromma Airport in Stockholm, Sweden.

I completed the JAR ATPL theory course in Stockholm (Sweden) where I also obtained a CPL/IR(ME). I also completed ground school for Bae Jetstream 31 with Bae Systems. I completed the MCC/CRM course at Oxford Air Training School in August 2003 on the full motion B737-400 simulator with EFIS, FMC and full visual display. In August 2005 I did the Saab 340 type rating at SAS Flight Academy in Stockholm for Golden Air (Finland). In January 2006 I completed the type rating for ATR 42/72 at ATC in Toulouse, France for Finnish Commuter Airlines where I flew the ATR 42/72 as F/O before being upgraded to Captain in 2007. I have flown every model of the ATR 42 and 72 except the -600 series. I hold a TRI qualification on the ATR 42/72.

I also hold FAA and New Zealand Private Licences.

I have flown in various parts of the world including:

  • UK (Flight training/Private flying)
  • New Zealand (Private flying)
  • Brazil (Bush flying)
  • Belize (Scheduled and Sightseeing flights)
  • Northern Europe (Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark)
  • Central and Eastern Europe (Charter and ACMI)
  • Africa (Equatorial Guinea, Scheduled flights)
