Having
wanted to be an airline pilot since early childhood, I decided
that the University of South Australia offered the best course and
flight training available to enable me to fulfill my career
objective.
I commenced my training with the University of South Australia
in 1996 and graduated in 1998. During that time I found the Degree
course excellent, with very motivated and experienced lecturers. I
chose to conduct my flying training at the University of South
Australia Flying School because of the fact that they offered a
flying syllabus that was integrated with the ground studies. This
I found extremely beneficial to my training. I found the training
environment offered by the UniSA Flying
School
to be one which encouraged high standards at all
times, not
only from its students but also its
instructional staff.
After graduating in 1998 I was offered a position with the
University of South Australia as an Instructor. I held this
position for 2 years before relocating to Darwin in search of
Multi Engine experience. I managed to gain a position with a local
charter company based in Darwin, and flew C206/210, Barons,
C402/C404 Titans and Metro aircraft on charter operations
throughout the Northern Territory, Western Australia and
Queensland.
In early 2004 I obtained employment with QANTAS as a second
officer on B747-338 aircraft.
Anyone considering a career in Aviation should be very motivated
and self disciplined. Be prepared for setbacks and always keep
that long term goal in mind.
