Backgound

I began my career as a pilot, receiving my training and certification in the USA in 1990, followed by work as a flight instructor there. After returning to Denmark, I completed my B+I / CD theory at the aviation school. The Gulf War limited employment opportunities, so I transitioned to working as a traffic manager in Copenhagen’s public bus system. During this time, I developed a planning and payroll system for bus drivers, a program that remains in use to this day.

Flying

Later, I became the IT manager, overseeing the IT operations of eight offices and developing various software solutions. In 2000, I earned my Danish instructor certification and began working as a flight instructor. By 2001, I had advanced to the role of chief ground instructor, and in 2004, I became chief flight instructor. Around the same time, I started flying corporate business.

IT

From 2005 to 2008, I focused exclusively on piloting, but the financial crisis of 2008 led to my redundancy. Seizing the opportunity, I founded aeroplan, a company dedicated to developing software solutions for the aviation industry. I left the company in 2023 and it is now time for Next Level.

My Services

This list is more of a personal statement rather than specific solutions. Please feel free to contact me for detailed solutions.

Documents

Document culture in aviation refers to the systematic creation, maintenance, and management of records essential for regulatory compliance, operational efficiency, and safety. These documents include flight logs, maintenance records, safety reports, manuals, and training materials. Despite its critical role, this area is often overlooked and doesn’t always receive the proper attention it deserves.

Compliance

This culture demands continuous monitoring, auditing, and updating of procedures to remain in line with evolving regulations. Employees at all levels—pilots, engineers, ground staff, and management—are trained to recognize the importance of compliance, ensuring that operational practices meet strict safety and legal standards. While essential, this process can be time-consuming and requires the right tools to be efficient.

Safety

Safety culture in aviation is a fundamental mindset that prioritizes the safety of passengers, crew, and aircraft over all other factors. It is built on a foundation of open communication, shared responsibility, and a proactive approach to identify and mitigate risks. The task of creating a safety risk analysis can involve numerous steps and extensive information. It is essential to have a tool that provides a clear and comprehensive overview to manage the process effectively.

ECCAIRS 2

I have been working with ECCAIRS for over 12 years and have gained extensive knowledge of the system. Previously, I developed tools for both online and offline reporting that are compatible with ECCAIRS. The introduction of ECCAIRS 2 brings many new opportunities, allowing for accurate data submission from the user all the way to EASA. Additionally, I have significant experience in generating reports within the ECCAIRS 2 system.
