Highly disciplined, ATP-rated PIC at a U.S.-based airline. Possesses a total time of over 3200 hours, consisting of flight instructor, Airline SIC and PIC experience, with additional mountainous flying training. Experienced in flying various GA aircraft and the Canadair Regional Jet. Proven to achieve rapid proficiency in new systems through a seamless career. Committed to safety and procedural excellence. Multi-lingual: fluent in Dutch and English, and intermediate in Spanish.

 

I currently hold a CL-65 (Canadair Regional Jet) type rating and have accumulated over 1600 hours on type, of which over 550 hours are PIC. During my time conducting regional flights in the U.S., I have encountered a multitude of operating conditions. From hot summer weather to icy winters, to some of the busiest airspaces and airports, to mountainous flying into smaller regional fields. Therefore, I strongly believe I have formed a strong foundation of various skills that will serve me anywhere around the world.

I developed one of my core strengths by being part of a select group of pilots in our Designated Mountainous flying program. Here, I was trained as a PIC to fly into airports such as Aspen, CO, and Eagle, CO. The smaller margins flying into these areas required special approaches, departures, and single-engine procedures, which had to be flown with utmost precision.

Lastly, together with my bachelor’s degree in Aeronautics, I see myself as a well-rounded individual who is motivated and dedicated to being the best version of myself at all times. Not only for myself, but also for the crew, passengers, and the company.
