Current CV

Available Challenger 604 pilot interested in freelance jobs.
''A pilot with excellent system knowledge and CRM.''  -Chief Pilot CL604.

In March 2011 I started working for CAE Business Aviation Training Center Amsterdam on the Bombardier Challenger 604 full flight simulator. With hundreds of hours of type rating training flown, I have participated in more training sessions than many pilots would get throughout their whole career. This in combination with my actual experience on type, for various private and commercial operators in Europe, Eastern Europe and the Middle East,
makes me a professional and flexible pilot. Ready for freelance jobs on the Challenger 604 and 605.

Joris performs his job with high professionalism, and shows to be a very skilled pilot.
As a person he is easy to get along with and is a very nice colleague.                                                                                                                         – Head of Training, SFE, G. J. Kuiper

CAE Business Aviation Training Center Amsterdam		March 2011  –  Today
In March 2011 I was selected to work for CAE BAT Center Amsterdam as their sit-in pilot on the Bombardier Challenger 604. CAE is a global leader in simulation and training for civil aviation and defense. Through their global network the company trains more than 80,000 crew members yearly. As sit-in pilot I function as first officer or captain in case there is one customer for initial- or recurrent training, CAT II or special airport training. During this work I am training myself as well. With hundreds of hours of type rating training flown, I have participated in more training sessions than many pilots would get throughout their whole career. Due to all this training I have gained excellence knowledge system about the Challenger 604. Another good aspect of this job is that I flew with a lot of different pilots and I have learned to quickly adapt to the working speed of the other crew member and maintain a ‘open cockpit’ with good CRM at a high standard.

August 2012  –  Today		Aerophoto-Schiphol
.		Aerophoto-Schiphol makes high quality aero photo’s, vertical shots, film recordings and art projects for all kind of customers. Working for Aerophoto-Schiphol is a challenging and exciting job.We operated from Schiphol Airport and we have often requests from costumers from within the control zone of the airport. In the control zone you will have limited time and the photographer wants you to position the aircraft exactly on the right position and with the right attitude. Since Schiphol is one of the most busiest airports in the world, good radio telephony and concentration is needed for these flights. With every flight I am improving my situation awareness, handling skills and RT.

They also provide tour flight, instruction flight and inspection flight for several Dutch ministries. At Sky Service Netherlands I made sightseeing flights and taught trailing lessons. A job I enjoyed very much and I hope that I have inspired others about aviation with my enthusiasm.
