TRI/TRE Embraer 190 TRI/TRE B737 KLM

After graduating from college as a Physical Education teacher, I started my flying career on the P3C Lockheed Orion, flying missions for the Dutch Navy. I had the opportunity to do an exchange tour and go through the Instructor Training in the US Navy. This experience taught me that there is always room for improvement. I decided that training others and making them enthusiastic to improve themselves would be one of my main missions in my professional life. As a civilian pilot I flew long-haul for Martinair as MD11 pilot, short/medium-haul with KLM Cityhopper on the Fokker 70/100 and Embraer 190 and am currently flying on the B737 with KLM. During my time on the Embraer, operating the Embraer 190 for KLM Cityhopper, I soon recognized that the E-Jet is a well-designed and thought-out regional airliner with a bright future. After becoming a (Senior) Instructor and examiner, I gained a large amount of experience in training and checking on the Embraer 170/190. With this experience I decided to start working as a freelance instructor and examiner for FSC Amsterdam, CAE Amsterdam and occasionally for FSI starting already in 2012. Since 2016 I have fulfilled the position of Chief Instructor Embraer 190 for FSC Amsterdam, being responsible for the design and the standardization of the E190 syllabus and associated Typerating Training. This background allows me, together with our team of experienced Embraer instructors and examiners, to give you the best training possible on the Embraer 170/190 and Embraer E2. Being a former semi- professional ice-hockey player, I have always considered myself a team player and therefore my goal with Dutch Aviation Trainers is to make you feel you are part of the team when deciding to train with our team of professional and highly skilled instructors and pilots on the Embraer. Welcome to our team!
