I’ve had the pleasure of working with David in many roles over the last half-decade.
His flexible approach and innate ability to focus on the student’s needs means he is one of the first people I call.
Simply put, David is one of the very best, regardless of whether it is training, checking or development you are looking for.
There are no airs or graces, no feeling that you are on a mass-production line-this is quality service that leaves a lasting impression that your skillset has been enriched.

Over my 15 years’ experience flying jets in Europe and working as a bush pilot abroad, there is one lesson I have learnt. When you find a good instructor and or examiner, NEVER LET GO OF THEM. There’s not many. David Mather is one of these rare few. He understands the industry, the theory, and more importantly, will understand you, what you want, and what you need. He also has the rare skill of teaching you all of this in YOUR language, not instructor language. He helped me achieve my dream. He will do the same for you. He is easily one of the best.

I have known David for 6 years as a colleague and I can confidently state he is one of the most passionate trainers I have come across in my near 30 years in aviation. Training pilots is his thing. He has all the attributes you would hope for in a trainer but above all, he always has the trainees best interests at heart, imparting confidence and improvement at every encounter.
His professionalism, management and communication skills all contribute to his robust integrity as an examiner.
A highly recommended aviation professional.
