What I'm looking for

I seek a role in aviation training or safety where I can apply instructor expertise, improve safety programs, mentor pilots, and contribute to operational excellence and regulatory compliance.

I am an accomplished Certified Flight Instructor with over two and a half years dedicated to flight training, safety management, and regulatory compliance at Ethiopian Aviation University. I have conducted 1,530 hours of flight training in aircraft and simulators, logged more than 780 total aircraft hours (100+ IFR), and hold night and instrument privileges.

My training emphasis combines technical mastery of aircraft systems and emergency procedures with clear, effective communication; I have trained over 120 student pilots and sustained a 98% first-time pass rate on certification exams. I also served as a safety officer and implemented a safety protocol that reduced incident reports by 25% while maintaining incident-free training operations.

With academic grounding in project management (M.A.) and a B.Sc. in Civil Engineering, plus certifications in Basic and advanced computer skills, SAP, ETABS, MX-ROAD, EAGLE POINT and AutoCAD, I bring structured program management, instructional skill, and technical versatility to aviation training roles focused on excellence and continuous safety improvement.
