Hello everyone,
Three years after arriving in Canada, I’m taking a moment to share my experience.
After completing my training, I had the opportunity to join the Hélicraft team as a young pilot. That first year was intense and exciting, filled with a variety of assignments and numerous sightseeing flights. Among these memorable experiences, I particularly recall a ferry flight in a Robinson R66 from Medicine Hat to St-Hubert. It was a year that taught me a great deal and allowed me to accumulate valuable flight hours.
Building on this year of valuable learning, Hélicraft then gave me the opportunity to take the next step by becoming a certified instructor.
Since April 2025, I have been working as a Class 4 flight instructor. This new role allows me not only to share my passion, but also to continue growing, both in terms of my flying skills and my overall understanding of aviation.
A wonderful development that only serves to strengthen my motivation for the next phase of this aviation adventure
