FLIGHT MISSION

Raymond Clerc

I manage the Mission Team and the flight strategy. With my team, we plan, brief and support the flights. We centralize all the data and decide, together with the pilot, the key flight details: departure date, choice of route, flight profile, and we react to any changes. It is my job, together with the entire Mission Team, to provide Bertrand and André with an optimal support to get them safely to their destination.
