Robin Leabman

DPE

Background

Robin Leabman started flying at the age of 14 back in 1990, and acquired his Private Pilot and Instrument Rating in high school.  Robin instructed all ratings, including Glider, Tailwheel, and Towplane while in college.  Throughout his aviation career, Robin has flown freight, air ambulance, global ferrying, charter, corporate, and the airlines.  He holds type ratings for LR-JET, GLF4, GLF5, G280, B757, B767, and the L-39 Albatross.

Robin holds all Airplane, Helicopter, and Glider instructor ratings.  He holds ATP in ASEL, AMEL, and Helicopter.  He also holds ASES and AMES at the Commercial level, though he plans to "Level Up" both of those to ATP within the next year.

Robin is proud to be a volunteer pilot for The Pink Jet.

Fun fact:  To date, Robin has taken more than 30 FAA practical tests.
