Mirragin Director of Aviation Operations recognised as Aviation Safety Professional of the Year 2022
Will Stamatopoulos has dedicated his career to aviation safety. Coming from 19 years of airline experience, blending aircraft engineering expertise with the craft of flying, instruction and innovative drone operations, Will has been able to piece together some the lessons learned in the last 100+ years of crewed aviation operations, to help forge a path within the emerging aviation sector.
Will has experienced work on the “shop floor” as well as high level operational management, with a proven record for managing safety and technical projects, producing the safest outcome for all stakeholders.
A lot of the work Mirragin Consulting undertakes is restricted by Defence and National Security sensitivity requirements, or client NDA, however, our reputation is predicated upon overcoming safety and efficiency problems, then sharing that with the industry. We do not sell products, we address every client’s concern by methodically defining the problem, designing, then delivering the solution, considering the entire ecosystem (regulation, training, maintenance, community etc), addressing safety at every step.
As a panel member of the technical working groups within the Australian Association for Uncrewed Systems (AAUS) – which engage not only the industry and regulators, but the community at large, Will addresses regulatory burden, gaps and inefficiencies, with panel members putting aside commercial imperatives, to foster the industry’s growth.
Will is also part of the team developing the Standards and Recommended Practices for the inception and integration of Uncrewed Aircraft and Uncrewed Traffic Management regulation, working to provide a level of safety equal to, or greater than current “crewed” aircraft. It’s clear that to Will, aviation safety is paramount. We look forward to supporting Will as he continues that journey with us here at Mirragin as Director of Aviation Operations.
