Hannes Barnard achieved his private pilot licence on at the age of 18, and his Commercial pilot's licence at the age of 21. He is an accomplished helicopter pilot now.
The passion for flying has been with him since his childhood. After obtaining his licences he worked as a pilot. As he progressed in the flying industry he has done ratings on piston engines, turbine and twin turbine helicopters. He is night rated, sling rated and instrument rated and he also has an instructors' rating.
Through all the hard work he was inspired by his grandmother‘s words saying, ‘you can be anything you want to be, just believe and live out your dream’. Today his passion for flying is still expanding with hope and bigger dreams of having to start his own aviation school for the young children who have a dream of flying like he did.
