Alasdair completed his PPL(H) when he was 16, enjoying the strange novelty of being able to captain a helicopter before being allowed to drive a car. After several years of private flying exploring Britain and a break in between to attend university, he completed his CPL(H) with East Midlands Helicopters and FI(H) with Arcus.

Alasdair has experience flying in a wide variety of environments; from remote areas of north and west Scotland to the congested helicopter routes of central London.

Alasdair is currently a commercial line pilot and flight instructor for Arcus Helicopters flying the R22, R44 and Bell 206.”
