He commenced with Central Operations as a line pilot in Alice Springs in 2000 and progressed to the position of Chief Pilot & SA Operations Manager, based in Adelaide. Recently Peter has transferred to the Queensland section of the RFDS as Deputy general Manager - Aviation.
During his time in Adelaide he became the principle driver of the development of a FRMS for use by RFDS, Central Operations. This was a joint project with the Centre for Sleep Research (CSR) and Peter was a Co-Researcher with CSR on the Australian Research Council assisted project.
The Central Operations FRMS is not limited to aviation alone but was specifically designed to incorporate all facets of its aero-medical business (medical, nursing, engineering, tasking, aviation, admin support and management).
His interest in the area of fatigue risk management was recognised by both the RFDS and the Regional Aviation Association of Australia in both nominating him to serve on the CASA (Civil Aviation Safety Authority) FRMS working party in the development of a new CAO 48 which allows industry to develop personal FRMS’s. This project includes the development of CAAP (Civil Aviation Advisory Publication) guidelines and an NPRM (Notice of Proposed Rule Making).
