Andrey Borisevich entered the world of aviation at a young age, starting with training at a technical-aviation club when he was 10 years old. He then studied in an aviation design class, learning subjects such as aerodynamics, aircraft and engine design, and material resistance during his 8th and 9th grades of middle school. After finishing school, Andrey ventured into IT and computer technologies. However, in his mature years, he returned to aviation, first obtaining a private pilot license in 2006 and then a helicopter pilot license in 2011. Despite this, aviation did not become Andrey’s main professional activity until 2013, when he went to the United States to fulfill his longstanding dream of becoming a professional pilot and starting his career with the airlines.
After training as a commercial pilot, Andrey did not stop there; he also became an airline pilot and obtained CFI / CFII / MEI instructor qualifications. His experience spans a wide range of aircraft types – from simple single-engine piston airplanes to A320, HondaJet, VisionJet, and LJ 60.
His passion for the skies is not limited to airplanes. Andrey has gained extensive helicopter flying experience across Europe and the USA. The pilot has covered many miles, showing his students that no boundaries can prevent them from achieving their goals.
A highlight of his career was the first Belarusian circumnavigation in a small single-engine piston Cessna-182 in 2018, completed with his friend and colleague, Alexander Tsenter (https://atw2018.letim.by/ and https://www.youtube.com/@Letimby). The journey took about 30 days and over 150 hours of flight time. This event was not only a milestone for Andrey but also for the entire aviation community.
In addition to accomplishing the first round-the-world flight for Belarusians, which is a national record in itself, the pilots also set a world speed record for a straight-line segment between two points on their route in this class of aircraft. The record was certified by the international organization FAI (Fédération Aéronautique Internationale).
