Originally from Hong Kong, Steven’s passion for aviation began at an early age — growing up directly under the approach path to the airport gave him a front-row seat to the world of flying. A childhood visit to Cathay City left a lasting impression, deepening his fascination with aviation, which he explored through years of flight simulation before stepping into a real cockpit.
After completing a Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering at RMIT University, Steven began his flight training with Learn To Fly Melbourne, where he successfully completed his first solo flight — a milestone that marked the start of his journey towards a professional flying career.
Steven’s ultimate goal is to join the Cathay Pacific Cadet Pilot Program. His engineering background gives him a technical edge and a methodical, safety-conscious approach to flying.
Outside of aviation, Steven is a passionate Formula 1 fan and enjoys listening to K-pop in his downtime.

From an early age, Dom’s fascination with aviation was shaped by both curiosity and exposure. Growing up in Melbourne, he was immersed in the world of flight through his father’s collection of model aircraft and their frequent trips to airshows. Watching planes carve through the sky was more than a spectacle—it was an early glimpse into what would become his life’s pursuit.
Now holding a Commercial Pilot Licence with Multi-Engine and Instrument Ratings, Dom has refined his skills through rigorous training. Among his most formative experiences was completing his Multi-Engine Instrument Rating at LTF—an endeavour that tested both his technical ability and his capacity for precision under pressure.
His long-term ambition is clear: to fly widebody aircraft on long-haul routes. Yet, beyond professional aspirations, Dom remains drawn to pursuits that cultivate presence and exhilaration—fishing, camping, and riding dirt bikes, all of which reflect his broader appetite for adventure.
For Dom, aviation is not merely a career but an ongoing challenge—one that demands skill, discipline, and a willingness to push beyond perceived limits.
Arjun’s journey into aviation was not a matter of chance but of inevitability. Born into the world of flight, he was raised on military bases across India, watching his father—a fighter pilot in the Indian Air Force—command the skies. The movement from place to place instilled in him both adaptability and an ever-deepening fascination with aviation. Though his upbringing was transient, Melbourne has been his most enduring home.
With nearly a decade of experience as an instructor, Arjun holds a Grade 1 Flight Instructor Rating with Multi-Engine IFR. His career has spanned four different flight training organisations, allowing him to teach a remarkably diverse range of students—from an 8-year-old enthusiast to a 92-year-old casual flyer, as well as university students and cadets bound for both domestic and international airlines. Each experience has reinforced his belief in the precision, discipline, and adaptability that aviation demands.
Before committing fully to flight training, Arjun pursued an MBA and spent close to a decade in marketing—an entirely different world, but one that ultimately proved peripheral to his true calling. Now, his focus is clear: in the short term, he aims to obtain Flight Examiner approvals and deepen his instructional expertise. Looking further ahead, he envisions a future in the airline industry while maintaining his connection to training, checking, and examining.
Beyond aviation, Arjun finds fulfilment in spending time with his two children, family, and friends. A lifelong sports fan, he follows Formula 1, cricket, football, and tennis with the same enthusiasm that drives his career. His philosophy—both in aviation and in life—is deceptively simple: just smile and wave.
