LEADING OUR CREW OF INSTRUCTORS…
ADAM STARR
CASA certified Flight Examiner
Adam has been training and testing people since 1988 and has done thisin various realms including the Army, Ambulance/Paramedicine,TAFE, University, Air Traffic Control, Flight instruction andinstrument training as well as adult education.
In 1999 he began his change of vocation from Paramedic to Aviation by completing a Private Pilot Licence (aeroplane) and a Commercial Pilot Licence (helicopter). At the same time, Adam accepted a new opportunity to work in the training group of Airservices Australia – the Australian provider of air traffic control. Continuing on to a Commercial Pilot Licence (aeroplane) as well, and then an instructor rating allowed for quite a broad scope in aviation teaching. Adam also accepted the position of lecturer at Griffith University for the bachelor of Aviation which further enhanced his abilities and gave an even broader knowledge of aviation and education.
Where flying is concerned, Adam has kept his passion for progressive aviation alive by specialising in technically advanced aircraft and glass cockpit operations as well as instrument training and testing. This has resulted in employment with various organisations that have a like mentality including, at one time, the Australasian importer and distributer or Cirrus aircraft. This association with Cirrus has continued with the Cirrus factory certifying Adam as a Cirrus Standardised Instructor Pilot (CSIP) as well as being the first Platinum CSIP in Australia and one of only five Platinum CSIP / Flight Examiners in the world. He has also continued with charter flying and other areas of instruction both single and multi-engine.
As a result of his passions for proper adult education and progressive aviation instruction Adam is an instructor in A.S. Flying School to provide this in both face-to-face and online forums. He has continued to provide a broad range of training and has continued to specialise in glass cockpit instrument training, and Cirrus aircraft, as well as upgrading/maintaining skills of adult learners.
Adam is also a CASA certified Flight Examiner and is able to test for a range of licences and ratings including Instrument Proficiency Checks (IPC) both single and multi-engine, Instrument Ratings, Private Instrument Ratings and Private Pilot Licences.
