I have always been driven to pursue a career in aviation and have relished every moment of my journey. I completed the majority of my training at Flight Training Adelaide in Queensland, completing all components of their course including ATPL subjects.
I have continued to improve my qualifications since graduating. This has included obtaining a Gas Turbine Endorsement on the Cessna Caravan, and a grade 3 instructor rating.
I have 605 hours total aeronautical experience and 562 flying hours including:
372 command 16 of which is Multi-engine,
42 total Multi-engine, 52 inflight instrument, and 290 under IFR
These hours have been completed on a PA28, DA40, DA42, C172, C210T, C208B, and C402B.
Rostered for 18 days on, 3 days off, accumulating up to 95 hours a month, I conduct aerial photography from Flight levels within Melbourne, Brisbane, and Sydney's Class C airspace. I currently fly C402B's and C210T's. I have the responsibility to complete the flight planing to efficiently capture the rural and city surveys depending on weather, refuel availability, and accommodation. I operate under IFR and often fly 4 hour flights twice a day.
Began commencing skydiving operations out of Shellharbour with Skydive Australia flying a 208B completing 10 hours with a maximum of 9 jumps per day in quick succession.
