Our Team

Glen White

Glen White's journey into aviation began in the South of France in a Bell 47—an aircraft where the full down autorotation was just a normal maneuver. His career is marked by a series of distinguished roles: serving as a Bell 212/412 instructor at FlightSafety, providing Naval support for the Aegis Program, and flying tours across the azure waters of the Caribbean.

As an EMS pilot, Glen has navigated a multitude of aircraft, undertaking high-altitude mountain rescues that demand precision and calm under pressure. His expertise was further recognized at Eurocopter, where he contributed as both an instructor and a factory pilot.

In 2004, Glen founded EuroSafety with a revolutionary vision: to transform pilot training within the industry. His dedication to evolving the learning process has not waned; to this day, Glen remains at the forefront of educational innovation, equipping pilots with skills to not only fly but to excel in the ever-changing aviation landscape.
