Boost Systems appoints new Vice President of Engineering
Michael Petsche has joined Human External Cargo Systems provider Boost Systems as Vice President of Engineering
Petsche has over 20 years of experience in the aviation industry and is a Transport Canada Design Approval Representative. Petsche’s interest in rotorcraft started when he worked on the 429 program with Bell Helicopter. From there he went to DART Aerospace as Director of Engineering and gained valuable experience in aircraft certification, supplemental type certificates and the helicopter industry.
Petsche commented: “I have been consulting for BOOST for nearly two years. We developed a great rapport very quickly. After being self-employed for several years, I never thought I’d ever go back to working for another company. But BOOST is the real deal. They themselves are pilots and are the ones hanging from the helicopters to help people. I’m thrilled to be able to be part of a team that is out in the ‘real world’. I believe that my background in product development, and certification of equipment specifically for helicopters makes this a natural fit.”
