A life-long aviation enthusiast, David Bonnici waited until he was in his mid-40s before deciding to finally indulge his dream to become a pilot. Midway through his training he switched from GA to light sport flying, where he earned his pilot certificate and cross country endorsement, and is now in the process of returning to GA to gain his PPL. David has embraced Australia’s general aviation community by writing about his flight-training experiences for aviation publications such as AOPA Australia’s Pilot, and Sport Pilot magazine. He aims to gradually gain his Commercial Pilot Licence and CFI rating to become an instructor for his retirement side hustle.
