Who is Ask a Pilot?
Since 2009, a team of passionate people has worked to spread information and knowledge about the industry by answering aviation questions from both colleagues and passengers.
Today, Ask a Pilot has grown into much more than an information site. It still answers curious questions about aviation and life as a pilot, but the team behind it has made a big effort to offer pilots in particular more than that.
Since 2020, Ask a Pilot has been owned by Kukka Lindqvist Westerdahl and Søren Lindqvist Westerdahl. Kukka is trained in marketing, is a private pilot and has previously worked in the cabin, while Søren is a 787 captain based in London and studies law at SDU.
In addition, a whole team of freelance writers and instructors is attached to Ask a Pilot, and they are the ones who answer questions about the aviation industry and offer courses and advice. Good, proven services, on which all FPU members get 30% off.
