Summary
My commercial helicopter pilot experience records approximately 500 hours total flight time and a low-level endorsement. My experience includes around 300 hours on the Robinson R44 and 200 hours on the Robinson R22. I am currently completing my Gas Turbine Endorsement, with flight time on the Bell LongRanger (approximately 10 hours) and Bell JetRanger (approximately 5 hours). I've ferried aircraft from Perth to Sydney, Airlie Beach to Griffith to Sydney, South Australia to Sydney. Approximately 100 hours of mountainous terrain flying. I maintain a strong focus on safety, professionalism, and continued skill development across commercial helicopter operations.
