About Angus
Professional standards without the flight-school feel.
I trained as a commercial pilot in Sydney before completing FAA commercial, instrument, and instructor training in Oregon. That experience taught me to adapt quickly, communicate clearly, and approach aviation from more than one regulatory perspective.
My goal is simple: make every flight useful. You should leave knowing what improved, what still needs work, and exactly how to move forward.
