About the Author

Danielle Bruckert began her flight training in New Zealand, before immigrating to Namibia where she worked for 10 years as a professional pilot. She completed her initial training on Cessna 150's and 152's, and progressed through the Cessna 182, 206, and several other types, eventually beginning her professional career as a charter pilot flying the Cessna 210, 310 and 402. With the increased popularity of small turbines the freelance charter market took her into the cockpits of the Cessna 208 and 406 and Beechcraft 1900, before an airline career led to a position on the Boeing 737 as a First Officer.
