JAMIE CHURCHOUSE
Jamie is a young aviation enthusiast who initially hoped to become a pilot.
He completed his secondary schooling in Palmerston North in 2019 and
plans to enrol in an engineering degree at Massey University in 2020. In the
meantime he launched his own his RPAS company, ‘Aerial View’.
Jamie completed the Massey University RPAS course in March 2019,
meeting all Civil Aviation Authority requirements needed to prove he can
fly an RPAS unit safely. He is currently working with the School of Aviation’s
RPAS consultant Isaac Henderson to prepare his CAANZ Part 102
exposition.
Projects to date include shooting aerial footage of his school’s 'colour
run' for a school promotional video, and a commissioned family portrait
incorporating a sweeping vista of the family’s farm. Prospective future
clients include real estate photos, roof inspections and aerial mapping.
Jamie says his age has not been a barrier to his fledgling business. RPAS
are a fairly recent innovation and their increasing use speaks well to a
generation brought up with emerging and exciting technology. As Jamie
says, “This is a job that didn't really exist five years ago.” Jamie enjoys
experimenting with this fast-developing technology and is keen to see
where it will take him in the future. With the support of his parents and
ongoing advice from the Massey University School of Aviation Jamie’s eyes
are on what is over the next horizon.BRING YOUR SKILLS TO LIFE
