About the pilot
Hello, I’m Charles “Chase” Sellmeyer — a professional pilot, leader, and entrepreneur with experience in turbine, multi-engine, and mission-driven operations.
My background combines professional aviation, business leadership, and travel to more than 50 countries. I bring a safety-first mindset, strong CRM, adaptability, sound judgment, and a genuine ability to work well with people.
I’m focused on building a long-term career with a Part 121 or 135 operator where I can contribute, continue to grow, and be the kind of pilot people want on their crew.
Reach out if you're looking for a skilled, people-oriented pilot ready to fly.
