I fly every chance I get, and I build ZuluCheck for pilots who want the right checklist for the aircraft they actually fly, in a more accessible, modern and user-friendly way. It's built for safety: emergency checklists are one tap away, and your V-speeds and local frequencies (tower, ground, ATIS and 121.5) stay in view the whole flight.
How I got here
- Age 6My first flight: a glider, with my dad, in Hawaii.
- 1999My first flight in a Cessna 152.
- 2001I lost a dear friend, who was flying solo in the Los Angeles area.
- 2008Flight training at Van Nuys, in between startups.
- The next fifteen years or soBuilding companies and products, in B2B and in AI. The startups took all the time, and I barely flew.
- Back in the airI decided to keep flying, and earned my private pilot license at Annecy (LFLP), in France.
- NowConverting that license to Israeli and American licenses, and flying every chance I get.
Bringing people along
My kids have been climbing into the back of the aircraft since they were barely big enough to keep a headset on, and they love the sky every bit as much as I do. Passing that on to them, and to friends and family, is a big part of why I fly.
Why ZuluCheck
ZuluCheck gives you checklists for the aircraft you actually fly, one item at a time, with an emergency page always one tap away. Every list is transcribed from a published handbook and names its source. I also build How It Flies, which shows what the controls, the wing and the ball are really doing, for anyone learning to fly.
If any of it helps you fly a little better, it was worth every hour.
