about neil
I am a Captain on ATR-72-200/500 and ATR-42-500 aircraft based in Guernsey, Channel Islands. I have over 30 years Air Traffic Control experience working in the UK and Hong Kong. I have worked in aviation since 1976.
I was born in Guernsey (1959), in the Channel Islands, so I’m British (but not English).
I am an active pilot:
- EASA (UK) ATP, Multi-engine, IR, UK IMC. AT42/72 Type Rating.
- FAA Commercial, Multi-Engine Land, Instrument, Certified Flight Instructor for Single, Multi-Engine, and Instrument, and FAA Advanced Ground and Instrument Instructor. C500 Type Rating.
- Crew Resouce Management Trainer.
- Canadian Commercial, Multi-engine, IR.
- Previously Thailand (PPL) and Philippines (Commercial) validations.
- Contact me for Aviation Instruction.
I pilot aircraft, code websites, program, read, listen to music, play and record electric bass and tenor guitar, walk, and run in my spare time. If I remember, or have the time. I tune my Basses in 5ths.
I follow ‘Paleo’ nutritional guidelines: food that we as humans are adapted to eat.
My opinions change in the light of fresh knowledge and experience. Neil is under construction!
