CAPTAIN K. DAVID DOUGLAS
Safeflight consulting was formed in 2002 under the direction of Captain Gordon Wilson. Gordon brought many years of flying and operational experience, from both military and airline backgrounds. This experience allowed him the clarity of vision to develop many of the well thought-out courses offered by safeflight today.
Gordon has retired as president but remains with Safeflight in the capacity of part-time instructor. Recently retired from Air Canada Captain David Douglas took over as president in March of 2010 and brings thirty-seven years of flying experience to Safeflight. This includes both float and ski equipped aircraft, military flying operations, concluding with a long airline career, flying all over the world.
David flew many types of aircraft notably, Airbus A320/1, Boeing 737,767, McDonnell Douglas DC10, DC3, Lockheed Hercules, Convair 640/580, Fairchild F-27, Nihon YS11and the DeHavilland twin-otter. This career path involved many roles in Training and Standards, instructing and checking, ground training and management. David has accumulated over 20,500 hours of flight-time.
Happy now to pass on some of this experience to others through the courses offered at Safeflight, David welcomes his new career as an aviation consultant. David lives in Vancouver, British Columbia.
