Secure AviationEarly accessAviation background
Professional pilot background with military aviation experience, offshore operations exposure and HEMS/Lifeflight operational context.
Founder profile
Built from cockpit admin pain, not generic SaaS theory.
Secure Aviation is being built by Michael Brownlee, a professional helicopter pilot with military, offshore and HEMS/Lifeflight operations experience, plus a hands-on interest in systems, AI, automation and security.
Why Mike can build this
He understands the flying and the admin behind it.
Secure Aviation starts from lived operational friction: entering flights cleanly, proving currency, tracking training, keeping rosters and crew records straight, producing reports and knowing why a record changed.
The technical direction comes from the same practical place: build useful tools, keep data boundaries clear, use AI carefully and make the product understandable to the people who actually have to run the operation.
Workflow understanding
Practical understanding of flight ops, currency, training records, rosters, reports and the ops-room admin that sits behind flying.
Technical build experience
Hands-on computer systems knowledge and direct technical build experience, not just product theory handed to a development team.
AI and automation interest
Strong practical interest in useful automation, local/private AI workflows and AI that assists search, review and summarisation without replacing judgement.
Security-aware approach
A permission and data-boundary focused build mindset, with experience exploring pentesting workflows and security review practices.
Pilot-built product judgement
The product is shaped by real aviation workflow pain: messy records, currency pressure, audit questions, training evidence and handover friction.

Built by a pilot, for operators who need clean records, better visibility and stronger data discipline.
