I am an experimental helicopter test pilot with a rich 27-year history in aviation, having piloted nearly 50 different aircraft types for over 3500 hours, including airplanes, helicopters, gliders and UAVs.

Welcome to my corner of Medium! I'm a Developer personality type with a deep-rooted passion for navigating the complexities of the aviation world. With over two decades as an EASA Class 1 Test Pilot and Flight Test Instructor, I've honed my skills in creating order from abstract theory and driving innovation in aviation technology.

My journey has been marked by a constant pursuit of higher goals and unwavering commitment to excellence. I thrive on challenging the status quo, questioning authority, and, when necessary, rocking the boat to achieve the best outcomes!

As a natural leader with a love for learning and mastering new skills, I'm here to share insights, ideas, and experiences that push the boundaries of what's possible in aviation and beyond. Join me on this exciting journey of exploration, innovation, and, of course, a little test pilot magic.

My personal interests include beekeeping, cycling, and photography, alongside the joys and challenges of raising a young child.

I hope my contributions to cockpit design, human-AI interaction and continue to shape the future of aviation and advanced air and vehicle mobility for the future.
