Deutsch About me
Passionate pilot, flight instructor, manager and family man
My dream of flying came true shortly after my sixteenth birthday when I began training as a glider pilot.
The studies I started as a mechanical engineer ETH were interesting, but at that time not the right thing for me. After military service as a pilot trainee in the Swiss Air Force and later in air traffic control, I got a job as an airline pilot with Crossair in Basel in 1991.
I soon took on additional tasks in training and management, and I was promoted to captain as early as 1995. During the turbulent times of Swissair Grounding and the build-up of Swiss International Air Lines from Crossair, I was the responsible Chief Flight Instructor and Deputy Fleet Chief of the Saab 2000 fleet management. The same task I took over years later for the last two years of operation and phase-out of the Avro RJ “Jumbolino” fleet.
The flying crown of my career was a Training Captain on the Airbus A220, one of the most modern airliners in the world.
At the suggestion of and in cooperation with the Schaffhausen Economic Development Corporation, the idea was born to establish a competence center for unmanned aerial systems at the Schaffhausen airfield. Here are ideal conditions to develop and test the safe coexistence of manned aviation and drones in the same airspace in a protected framework. With my rich aviation knowledge and experience, I am happy to contribute to this.
