Highly motivated pilot with over 700 flight hours from flying the majority of the continental United States, including experience in a PA-28-140 (upgraded to 180hp, constant-speed prop, autopilot) and a Mitsubishi MU-2 on flights over international airspace, including the British Virgin Islands and cross-country flights to Alaska. Strong problem-solving skills, hands-on knowledge of aircraft systems, and thorough FAA regulations expertise. Scheduled for CFI certification in September and seeking opportunities to gain Part 135 experience and fly higher-performance aircraft while converting FAA ratings to EASA. Fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, with a global perspective from growing up in Portugal, Mexico, Argentina, and the USA.
Supported both airport operations and ground handling teams, gaining firsthand experience in aircraft turnaround procedures, ramp safety, fueling coordination, and communication with pilots and crew. I assisted in daily airport operations to ensure efficiency and compliance with safety standards, while developing a strong understanding of how ground and operations teams work together to maintain smooth and secure airport functions.
