The journey since involved piloting several aircraft types on three continents and holding various managerial positions in international aviation companies. It is from this pool of experience he draws when consulting customers with the services offered by W5 Aviation.

Experience In:
Lukas Weiss
Director of W5 Aviation
Aviation has been my passion and profession for more than 25 years. My many activities in various aviation disciplines on 3 continents have given me a great wealth of experience. Aircraft maintenance and flying as a commercial pilot in the early years have given me the hands-on experience helping me to appreciate the complexity of maintaining and operating an aircraft. I also learned a great deal about the needs of aircraft owners and passengers alike.
Later, I had the privilege to get involved in Continuing Airworthiness Management as well as Safety and Quality Management in aviation. In these positions I attained Civil Aviation Authority recognition from the Swiss FOCA (EASA Form 4).
Aircraft Completion Management, both on fixed wing aircraft and helicopters, was added to the list of my activities in 2005. An area I have been enjoying to be increasingly involved in ever since. I have been especially privileged to consult one of the major business aircraft manufacturers in the areas of completions- and quality management.
In all these years I was involved in either writing or revising manuals and handbooks, auditing and reorganizing aircraft technical records and where necessary recovering missing files. More than often I had to work with disorganized and incomplete history files. This inspired me to offer my newest services product: Aircraft Records Management. An integral approach to managing aircraft technical records.
It is from this pool of experience I draw when consulting my customers with the services offered by W5 Aviation. I trust to be able to help you in your endeavors to make that project of yours a successful one.
