Who are you flying for currently?
I am a Company Instructor at Augusta Westland in Italy
What kind of helicopter(s) do you fly?
Sikorsky S61, BO-105
What do you find unique, challenging, or fulfilling about your job?

For me, the most challenging aspect is being away from home for two weeks at a time. As far as the operations, I felt I was more than adequately prepared after my training.

Was there anything in particular that you learned at MLH that made you especially ready for a situation you have encountered since attending?
The comprehensive training left me well prepared for my present position.
What did you like best about MLH?
The diversity of the flying environment, particularly the different airspace and weather conditions unique to Hawaii. The family atmosphere at the school encourages positive learning and camaraderie.
Would you recommend Mauna Loa to others?
Most definitely! I am happy to have been a part of the school and feel it has given me the best start I could have wished for in my flying career.
