  • As Assistant Chief Instructor, Rambla mentored new CFIs, oversees training quality, and conducts stage checks, ensuring consistent instructional standards across the academy’s fleet.

  • He credits Hillsboro Heli Academy’s diverse flying environments—including mountain operations and off-airport training in the Pacific Northwest—as key to shaping his skills and confidence as a professional pilot.

  • Rambla returned to Austria in early 2025 to begin a flight instructor position with RotorSky in Linz, marking the next chapter of his aviation career.
