This month’s speaker is Jason Davenhill, Flying Instructor, Performance Coach & Supervisor,
Inflow Performance Ltd.
A view from the cockpit is a canter through Jason Davenhill’s eclectic flying background.
He is the only military pilot to instruct at every level – UAS, EFT, Advanced FT, OCU, front line, helicopters and fixed wing, Army, Navy and Air Force and civilian fixed wing and helicopters.
Jason’s formative years were spent as a track athlete where he learned the value of continuous focused improvement. This ethos shaped his subsequent career in the Royal Air Force, which he joined after winning his green beret in the Royal Marines. He initially struggled in flying training, possibly because the style of instruction didn’t necessarily suit him, but, having scraped through, he operated the Chinook in most of the RAF’s adventures in the late 90s early 2000s. He operated on land and at sea with the Royal Navy in Bosnia, Kosova, Sierra Leone, Iraq, Afghanistan, Falkland Islands, Northern Ireland, Norway and Brunei.
