Co-Pilot / In-Flight Assistant
Having a qualified safety pilot on board allows you to focus on the fun aspects of flying while having another capable set of eyes and hands to assist you. You are a safe, qualified, licensed pilot that knows your limitations. We are able to act as your co-pilot or inflight assistant to help make your trip go smoother and reduce some of your workload. We have experience in multi-crew commuter, corporate and airline flying and are keen to bring that level of professionalism and experience to your cockpit.

There are many scenarios where you may wish to have an In-Flight Assistant / Copilot
1. You have a full day planned and could use some assistance with pre-flight and post flight duties so that you can simply depart when you show up and get on with your business when you arrive.
2. You enjoy the departure and arrival phases of flight but would rather someone handle the rest.
3. You are flying a new type of aircraft that is resulting in higher task saturation and workload.
4. You are planning a trip into an unfamiliar airport, or into busy airspace and would like an extra set of eyes and ears.
5. You want to spend some time "playing" and familiarizing yourself with some new avionics while your co-pilot handles the aviating, navigating and communicating.
6. You are flying your family or children and are anticipating there being more distractions than usual.
*It is your choice as the client and pilot in command if you wish to receive coaching or if you simply want a co-pilot.
