Summary
After a short stint with my CPL-H several years ago, I'm looking to return to the industry with a professional company.
I consider myself to be a focused, hardworking job seeker with a diverse set of skills, eager to secure an entry-level position.
Total flying time including training is approximately 225 hrs on B47, R22 and R44 along with crew experience in B206 and B205 for fire and National Park air work.
My previous flying positions in 2016 with consisted of local tours, cross country flights and Heli-fishing with the R44, R22 and B47
Throughout January, 2024 I will be obtaining additional refresher training, a flight review and Turbine Endorsement with Air T&G, Class 1 medical renewal and my ASIC card to improve chances of employment.
