Meet Clarke
Peninsula Helicopters was founded by Clarke Maree, a Grade 1 Flight Instructor and Flight Examiner with a passion for helping people discover helicopter flying.
Having trained students from their very first lesson through to licence completion, Clarke believes the best training comes from building confident, capable pilots—not simply preparing students to pass a flight test.
