Summary
With over 6000 hours of flight time, including 1200 in jets and 2000 in turboprops, I've honed my skills in aviation regulation compliance and effective communication, notably at Apollo Aviation Group. My achievements include streamlining cockpit procedures and enhancing flight safety, demonstrating a commitment to excellence and passenger satisfaction. I started flying at the age of 12 , solo at 16 , Private at 17 and Commercial certificate at 18 the minimum age allowed. Have tailwheel endorsement and was instructed mostly by my father who is a retired American Airline Pilot. I believe in safety first with the use of checklist and I use my free time to study Aviation Accidents and learn from them.
