Jerome de Faria|  

Accountable Manager / Pilot / Instructor 


 "My greatest joy with these helicopters is that we get to do the most awesome work. We get to fly these super mechanics to the jungle to keep the generators running in the villages. We take them to the most remote mines to keep heavy equipment going. We take technicians to the most remote places to build telecom towers and keep them online. We fly with these super paramedics and get people out of harms way and we help to find people that are lost in the jungle or at sea. We help to survey all new territory and see all new frontiers. We get it done!  While doing this, we see our forest, mountains and rapids and sometimes..... I get to fish on spots where no one has gone before."


With close to 3000 hours of total time in helicopters Jerome is not only an aviation  enthusiast, but also the founder of the Pegasus company. Jerome started flying helicopters in February 2004 and still enjoys doing so. Aiming for a zero incident, zero accident safety record within the company, Jerome fulfills the role of Accountable Manager at Pegasus and, performs pilot duty in operations where and when necessary.
