Dan “Danno” Pedersen
Our Chief Pilot Dan “Danno” Pedersen is the owner of a 2021 912iS fuel injected 400 series Super Petrel LS. He took delivery of his aircraft in October of 2021 and, combined with flying the Super Petrel USA demo aircraft, has logged more than 200 hours in the Super Petrel in less than 8 months. Dan lives in Sanford, Florida and uses his aircraft to commute to Ormond Beach to perform demonstration flights here at our facility. Dan lived in Texas where he held various positions at Link Simulation and Training before transferring to Sanford to manage a flight school. Dan graduated from the Naval Academy and spent 20 years serving as a Naval Aviator primarily piloting the FA-18 Hornet.
Recent Times:
After receiving extensive factory training in the Super Petrel for the role of Instructor Pilot, Dan recently became the latest member of the Super Petrel Flight Instructor Association. (SPFIA). In addition to his role as a demonstration pilot, “Danno” is now available to provide initial transition training in new owner’s aircraft.
In his own words:
I flew amazing aircraft in the US Navy but without reservation I must say a flight in the Super Petrel is the most fun one can have piloting. I was actually out of flying for 20 years until I discovered the Super Petrel. I happened to see a video of a shipmate and my former FA-18 instructor (Vice Admiral Wm Gortney) providing a testimony about his Super Petrel. I contacted him and the rest is history. Flying in Florida, I consistently find bodies of water that are just too inviting to pass up. I thoroughly enjoy sharing the joy of water landings with our many potential customers. Just watch them smile as we touch down on the water! It happens every time.
I was completely sold on the Super Petrel after my first flight. I believe this is the first time I have ever made a major purchase that I did not have a moment of “buyers’ remorse”.
