About

What, why, when...

My first flights were with Abingdon AEF in the back of the lovely Chipmunk. I then attempted to persuade her Majesty that I was suited to a career in the Air Force, a doomed project that included two years flying the mighty Bulldog out of RAF Woodvale. This was my first exposure to the world of aerobatic and it left a mark.

Having returned to the world of general aviation in 2020 I decided that there was an opportunity to pass on the excellent learning gained through twenty years with easyJet and started to look for ways of achieving this. The result is CW Aviation, delivering UPRT & Aerobatics instruction through two excellent flying schools based at Blackbushe.

• 1986-1987 gliding, flying scholarship & PPL

• 1988-1990 university air squadron

• 1991-1999 the lost PPL years

• 1999-2000 Cabair (RIP) integrated ATPL

• 2001-2006 easyJet first officer B737 & A320

• 2007-2010 easyJet line captain

• 2010-present easyJet line trainer

• 2017-present easyJet TRI/TRE

• 2020-present flying instructor

• 2021-present aerobatics & UPRT instructor

How

The training that we deliver at easyJet is second to none. The combination of just culture and modern training techniques leads to an environment where we can develop great students into safe pilots who continue to develop throughout their careers.

The aim is to bring that same training expertise to PPL and CP students. My hope is that the training and experiences that I deliver make people better, safer pilots.
