We are pleased to introduce you to some members of our team:

    

Alexandra Zaïnal


Head of Training & Platinum CSIP
Orbifly co-founder, Cannes CTC referent CSIP, she loves flying old vintage tailwheel birdies as well as brand new state of the art airplanes packed with electronics... Why should we choose ? :)

  

Olivier Zafrilla


IFR Instructor & CSIP
Our Commander sometimes abandons his family PA32 to instruct in a TBM or cross the Atlantic in a state-of-the-art Cirrus aircraft. He's the referent CSIP of the Avignon CTC and Orbifly co-owner!

  

Clément Chatel


CMM, CSIP & HPA Expert
When not in an Airbus, he enjoys flying on anything that has wings... he shares his valuable professional experience of high altitude flying with our turbine students!

  

Eric Odin


Mountain flying referent & TCI
He's fond of long-distance trips as well as short mountain strips... but he always comes back to touch the clouds or tease the twin-engine with a student. And always with a smile!

   

Jean-Luc Micalef


FAA Trainings Supervisor, TCI
FAA + EASA Instructor but also geek of the team, our engineer is just as fond of the A320 Sim as of state of the art cockpits!

  

Bruno Muller


IFR Instructor & TCI
This Mountain Flying expert & Cirrus enthusiast is as precise when flying a 3D instrument path than when approaching a mountain strip... and always with a smile!

 

Frédéric Mathieu


IFR Instructor, TKI & deputy CMM
IFR instructor and immoderate flying lover, Fred enjoys flying modern pannels with all bells and whistles you can imagine. Passionate about instruction, he is Christophe's assistant for IR theory.

  

Laurent Guillerault

When Laurent gets off his glider, it's to step into his magnificent Jodel! Passionate about everything that flies with and without an engine, Laurent is an airplane and glider instructor.

 

Manuel Goepfert

Jean-Arnaud Caille


IFR & HPA Instructor, TCI
When he gets off his Boeing 777, our Captain JAC likes to fly on anything that has wings... even if he admits a slight preference for surfing the clouds with a Cirrus!

He got out of his Rafale to come and get his hair blown off by our Cirrus airplanes... and by anything that flies, because this fanatic is never happier than when he's in the air! He is in charge of our secondary base at Le Touquet.

 

Eric Bouchet


FAA instructor
An Orbiflyer since 2007, Eric felt the call of teaching early on and joined our team to share his passion. FAA instructor, passionate about Cirrus airplanes, turbines flying and the Alps, he runs our Annecy site!
