I have known Peter in a professional capacity for the last 15 years.

We have flown together on numerous occasions, and I have always found Peter a person of high integrity, pleasant to fly with and he has always operated the aircraft to a high professional level.

I also was paired with Peter on two occasion for instrument renewal in the simulator in which Peter demonstrated a very high standard of knowledge, SOP’s and handling.

Whether in the flight-deck or on social occasions Peter is very easy to get along with and a sociable character on layovers.

I would highly recommend Peter to an employer as Peter is a very experienced pilot

I have known Peter in a professional capacity since 2012.

Peter flew with me as First Officer on many occasions and I found him to be a motivated pilot,well prepared and always keen to learn and improve on his performance.

I always found Peter very good company in the two pilot flight deck environment and well experienced in crew resource management.

Peter has a wealth of aviation experience and would be an asset to any company considering employing him as a pilot.
