@danielstancu
Senior aviation product and operations consultant translating FTL and training compliance into audit-ready SaaS logic.
What I'm looking for
I’m a senior aviation product and operations consultant with 20+ years across crew operations, flight time limitations, training compliance, qualification management, and aviation software platforms. I’m known for translating complex regulatory and operational requirements into product logic, functional specifications, scalable workflows, and audit-ready system behaviour.
I operate as a bridge between flight operations, regulatory interpretation, engineering, and product teams—defining, validating, and implementing mission-critical features that hold up under audit and operational scrutiny. Most recently, I contribute to coolMPAT (MPAT / Multi Pilot Aviation Training), modelling regulatory logic aligned with EASA structures, aligning competency-based training frameworks, and shaping audit traceability and acceptance criteria for regulated airline environments.
