Got Questions?
Got Questions?
01/
What type of operations are you currently involved in?
I’m currently flying for Excellent Air, a German business aviation operator, mainly on Cessna Citation CJ2 and CJ3 aircraft. Our operations are very dynamic, we fly to a wide variety of airports across Europe, including many challenging or smaller airfields. It’s a fast-paced environment that requires full adaptability and resilience. As part of a small, close-knit crew, I’m involved in every step, from managing the aircraft and ground handling to coordinating directly with operations and ensuring a smooth VIP experience for our clients.
02/
Why did you choose business aviation to start your career?
I chose business aviation to start my career because it offered a very hands-on and versatile environment. You get to experience every aspect of flight operations, from planning and customer handling to decision-making in dynamic situations. It helped me build strong autonomy, adaptability, and a deep sense of responsibility from the very beginning of my career.
03/
What makes you stand out as a pilot?
What sets me apart is the combination of precision, adaptability, and a genuine passion for aviation. I’ve invested heavily in my training and hold both FAA and EASA licenses, which gives me a broad operational perspective and the ability to perform confidently across different regulatory environments. Beyond the standard path, I’ve pursued additional ratings such as seaplane, parachute-dropping, aerial spraying, and forest-fire observation. These experiences have strengthened my airmanship, decision-making, and situational awareness, qualities I bring into every flight. In business aviation, I take pride in maintaining the highest standards of safety while also ensuring an exceptional passenger experience. I always aim to support the team and make every flight run smoothly from both a technical and human perspective.
04/
What keeps you motivated as a pilot?
What motivates me the most is teamwork. Sharing a common goal with people who are equally committed to safety and professionalism. When coordination, communication, and trust all come together, it creates a sense of flow that’s extremely rewarding. Every flight is different, every situation demands focus and adaptability. That variety keeps me fully engaged and passionate about what I do.
05/
Why should we hire you?
To know the answer, either contact me or invite me to your assessment. 😉
