Experienced Contract Pilot in Gulfstream G-280
I am available for contract flying in the Gulfstream G-280. When you have a need for a mature, hard-working, international destination experienced and dedicated professional for your next trip. Please contact me to arrange an assignment. My Aviation Journey I started flying at age 15 and soloed at age 16. After over two decades of flight instructing in mostly single-engine Cessnas as a hobby, in 2022, I retired from full-time ministry and returned to aviation. Destinations where I have flown I accepted a First Officer position with a Part 135 Air Carrier that offered a Second in Command (SIC) training program leading to my Second-in-Command Type Rating in the Embraer 505 Phenom 300 turbojet, as well as a position as First Officer. After flying in this role for one year, in 2023 I completed pilot upgrade training in Dallas, TX, where I earned my Airline Transport Pilot Certificate and Pilot in Command (PIC) Type Rating in the Embraer Phenom 300 (light jet). After upgrade to Captain and honing my PIC skills, another transition was forthcoming. In 2024, I left the charter company so we might move closer to my wife's mother and thus, I returned to my love of teaching joining the team at a large, international professional pilot training center in Savannah as a Pilot Instructor. In Jan 2025, I completed the PIC initial type rating in the Gulfstream G-280 (super mid-size jet) and now I teach simulator and ground school for other pilots seeking the same rating, completing recurrent training, or seeking specialized training programs. Please reach out to arrange a time to discuss your aviation needs.
