About

Hi, I’m Thomas, founder and mastermind behind Awesome Skies – Interactive Courseware. I spent almost 20 years developing flight training devices and full flight simulators to the highest standards, replicating all the finest details of their real counterparts. While the level of immersion is crucial for certain training tasks, I realized that highest fidelity is surely not needed for every kind of training. Did you ever wonder, why full flight simulators sometimes do not move for hours?

Can you imagine exploring systems and procedures in your own pace, without a ticking clock in the background? Dedicated and passionate instructors consistently give their best in the classroom to prepare trainees for full flight sessions, sometimes supported by lower level devices. However, there is one major drawback: These activities tend to be fixed in time and space. Crew and instructor need to meet at a given location and if your crews operate globally, 24/7, logistics can become challenging and expensive. In addition, most if not all instructors love flying and are enthusiastic about sharing their experience, but compiling presentations without the right set of tools, can turn out to be cumbersome. And what about accessibility and interactivity? Well, there is a way out.

My Vision for Awesome Skies is to become the go-to-place for interactive system demonstration and eLearning content. With fully web-based, tailored and high quality tools and services, I want to close the gap between conventional classroom training and costly training devices. Build strong and meaningful partnerships with instructors and training providers and contribute to an efficient, flexible, and enjoyable training experience.

Let’s soar high together and keep our skies safe and awesome.
