Andrew Flieder

Andrew Flieder has loved airplanes since he was a kid and finally had opportunity to begin flight training in his mid-20’s. Now in his early 30’s, he holds FAA and Transport Canada Commercial licenses with single engine land and sea ratings as well as multi-engine land and instrument ratings. He is currently an American expat living and working as a C-182 jump pilot in Western Canada. He plans on continuing working in the aviation industry and strives to hone his skills to eventually work as a missionary bush pilot.

Want to go to Belize? What? Sure!

I was two months into my first pilot job flying skydivers at a small Canadian drop zone in a C182, when my boss approached me with this question. Our company had the opportunity to have a winter contract in Belize running the same operation for the winter months of our off-season, and we were quite excited about the prospect. This would require ferrying our little Cessna all the way down there.
