About

Operational leadership with a training edge

I’m an airline Training Captain and examiner with extensive long-haul command experience. I combine that operational background with type-rating instruction and examining on the Boeing 777 and 787 fleets — line training, simulator programmes, command upgrades, and standards work.

I’ve flown approximately 1,600 North Atlantic sectors, including around 1,300 operated under ETOPS.

MaxFli Aviation provides contracted simulator instruction for Approved Training Organisations and operators.
