Although I have been in the Acting role as the Airbus Fleet Captain, it has been a humbling experience learning and working with the amazing talent that is within the Flight Operations Section.
Working alongside my technical pilot we have made major improvements to incorporating and expanding on the Single engine taxi procedure across the entire FJ Airbus network, including monitoring and evaluating how the procedure is being used by our Pilots.
We have also made good progress working with the engineering department on streamlining how "hold items'' are disseminated to the flight crew, thus saving time and increasing overall safety to our day-to-day operations.
I do hope to continue and take advantage of this role to work for my fellow Airbus crew to make their job safer, efficient and fullfiling.
As the Acting Fleet manager, I oversee the day-to-day operations of the Airbus Fleet, ensuring safe,efficient,and cost-effective operations. Work with Rostering to ensure sufficient pilot numbers. Maintaining and managing overall pilot discipline.
In my other role as a Check and Training captain, I train and check pilots to CAAF regulatory standards, focussing on developing core pilot competencies using methods such as evidence-based training. I also assist in ensuring pilots are resilient and ready for unforeseen situations in the cockpit.
