The Flying Lecturer - What you can do with a PPL and some videos from my research

Professional Activities

I am a keen advocate of all things aerospace, particularly as we enter an extremely exciting period for aerospace engineers as eVTOL starts to take off (pun intended). As such, I am happy to come and talk to anyone about engineering and careers therein. As well as the technical side, I am a Private Pilot and have an Instrument Rating (Restricted) given that I live in the North West of England! I am also a qualified Flying Instructor. The sorts of things that you can get up to with these licenses and endorsements can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqqlG1VRhhY9nlbn5Oq20cg.
