Our story
Felix in Latin means “happy”. I can humbly say that my name perfectly describes my feelings. What could be more fortunate than to combine passion with work?

I started my professional career 20 years ago. As soon as I received my commercial pilot's license in 2000, while still a student, I started working as a co-pilot on a turboprop L-410 Turbojet. Thanks to an early start, I found myself at United Airlines' training center in Denver just a few weeks out of college. Later, as a 26-year-old, I was one of the youngest Boeing B757 captains in the world.
Still, my dream was to fly private jets. I was particularly fascinated by the icon of the industry at that time - the legendary Gulfstream V. Favourable circumstances allowed me to sit in its cockpit before the age of 30, even with a fresh American licence in hand. The year was 2008 and I was fulfilling my next dream. However, the financial crisis temporarily put an end to a great transition to private aviation, but the subsequent experience with Airbus took me further professionally. Later, I had the opportunity to return to my beloved Gulfstreams, and for the past 10 years they have once again been the focus of my work.
Today, after spending approximately 10,000 hours in the air, and having experience as an instructor in small single and twin engine aircraft, turboprop L-410s, transport Boeing B757s, Airbus A320s, and commercial Boeing BBJs, and especially the ultra-long range Gulfstream V and 550, I have my aviation dreams fulfilled.
In recent years I have been involved in the administration around private aircraft operations, and as a Chief Pilot type and general operational matters.
I now offer my experience to you.
