Alex Vogel

Chief Instructor

EMB 170/190

Crafted in Germany with roots in South Africa, my path diverged from a Law degree to the skies. My flight training journey spanned South Africa and Austria in the late ’90s, leading me to the cockpit of a Fokker 70/100 as a First Officer with Tyrolean Airways/Austrian in Vienna. My career evolved as I took the Captain’s seat on a DH8, followed by a venture into wide-body aviation as a B777 First Officer with Emirates from 2007 to 2010. Seeking adventure beyond the cockpit, I embarked on a six-month kayaking expedition around the Solomon Islands in 2010. My instructional journey began in 2011 as a Synthetic Flight Instructor (SFI) on the EMB170/190 for Flight Safety International in Singapore. By 2013, I was flying the EMB190 as a freelance Captain for Denim Air in Morocco. My freelance career has since taken me across Europe, Turkey, Libya, Tanzania, Botswana, and Myanmar, where I’ve amassed invaluable experience on all E-jet variants, including the Lineage, serving as a Captain, Line Trainer, and Type Rating Instructor (TRI). Currently, I fly the HondaJet as a Line Training Captain in West Africa, alongside my role as Chief Instructor for the EMB170/190 at Dutch ATO Services. Having piloted the Fokker 70/100, which I regard as the pinnacle of my flying experience, uniquely positions me as an instructor within a Dutch ATO. Welcome to our dynamic team, where Embraer Training, Typerating, Recurrent Training, and the E2 Difference Course are at the forefront of aviation excellence.
