Aviation

Tell us a bit about yourself.
Outside of flying, I work for an aviation ground handling company as a regional trainer, primarily focused on the passenger services department, though I also train tasks within other departments. When I'm not immersed in aviation, I enjoy the social side of life—especially anything food-related!
Have you always had an interest in aviation?
Yes, ever since I was very young! I’ve been hooked on aviation since my first flight from Bristol to Malta with Britannia Airways when I was around 7 years old. I used to watch planes in the sky and wonder where they were headed. I've been fortunate to follow my dreams and became cabin crew while Britannia Airways was still operating. My career in aviation has taken a few turns, but I consider myself very lucky to be working in an industry I love.
How has your flying journey at Goodwood been? What has been the highlight?
My flying journey at Goodwood has been incredible. The team is so supportive, and you genuinely feel like they’re rooting for you to succeed. If you're having a bad day, there's always a cup of tea on offer. There have been many highlights, but the team spirit really stands out, especially considering flying is often a solo learning journey. Of course, my first solo flight and the solo cross-country stand out. Even though I was nervous, it’s something I’ll never forget.
What was the best piece of advice you received?
"Don’t forget to breathe!" But in all seriousness—"Just enjoy it!" was such great advice. As a learner, it's easy to get fixated on the technical side of flying and making sure you’re listening to the instructors, but it’s important to look up and enjoy the experience as well.

What was the hardest part?
The exams! Balancing work and studying was tough. I had to be disciplined, and even if I only studied for an hour before bed, it made a difference.
I also had moments of self-doubt, wondering if I could actually pass the exams.
Where are you planning to fly first? Or have you already flown somewhere?
I’ve done a little flying already. It's such a surreal feeling when you're handed the keys for the first time, and when you land—it’s strange not having anyone sitting beside you to talk through the flight. My big trip will be to Devon, where my mum's ashes are scattered. I plan to circle above that spot. Sadly, she gained her wings during the early stages of my flight training, so she never got to see me pass.
Now that you’ve passed, what’s next?
For now, I’ll take a little time to relax! I’ll do some solo flying, taking family and friends up—whoever’s brave enough to join me—and just enjoy bimbling around and scouting out good lunch spots. Then, I’m planning to work on my IR(R) (instrument rating) and night rating. After that, who knows?
