Dominik Geiser

Operations Manager & Class 2 Flight Instructor

Originally from Switzerland, Dominik's passion for aviation started at an early age in his home county. He expressed this passion by building and flying RC aircraft, and flying gliders before he was old enough to drive cars. After graduating from College with an Electronics Diploma and serving in the military for a year, he moved to Canada and started at Helicopters Canada as an international student in 2007. Dominik is an experienced charter pilot: from mountain flying and heli skiing in Western Canada, to long lining and drill moving for mining exploration across the Yukon and Northwest Territories. During the summer months he has been flying forest fires from BC to Ontario. After 10 years of building his experience, he returned to Helicopters Canada as a charter pilot and Flight Instructor to share his passion of flying and operational experience with aspiring pilots.

Pat Jones

Line Pilot & Class 1 Flight Instructor

Pat kickstarted his flying experience here in Ontario and quickly found himself immersed in various helicopter operations in the Western provinces. Here he dabbled in utility flying, longlining, firefighting, aerial survey, mountain flying and charter. Pat has since made his way back to North Bay to take up the new challenge of Flight Instructing while still flying powerline and wildlife surveys, forest firefighting and beyond. Holding his Class III Instructor Rating, Pat has successfully helped countless students pass their written exams and flight tests to become commercially licenced, just like him.

Kyle Campbell

Line Pilot & Class 4 Flight Instructor

Adventurous living and rural surroundings have been the definition of Kyle’s comfort zone since before his days as a pilot; making his early transition into the helicopter world a smooth and familiar one. Flight training with Helicopters Canada in the rocky, forested and lake-laden terrain of North Bay felt natural and was easily transferable to flying tours around the Tobermory area. After flying day and night as a news chopper in the busy airspace of Toronto, Kyle was eager to return to North Bay and reunite with the Helicopters Canada family. This is where he continues to develop his skills flying utility and specialty charters, as well as our latest addition to the Flight Instructor team.
