Summary
Thomas Oswald is an experienced pilot, instructor, examiner and aerospace software developer with over 12 years in professional aviation and two decades of independent software entrepreneurship. He currently flies for Eurowings Europe while running Thomas Oswald Aerospace Software, which has produced commercial products and bespoke systems for aerospace, automotive and RF/engineering platforms since 2002. His background blends hands-on flight operations, type-rating instruction (TRI/TRE C525) and exam duties with a PhD-level physics education and prior research roles in space science. That combination lets him translate complex aeronautical and scientific requirements into reliable avionics and engineering software—an unusual cross-section of operational aviation and academic rigor. Based in Austria, he has repeatedly moved between leadership roles (including chief pilot and deputy operations manager) and frontline training, demonstrating both managerial breadth and practical teaching experience.
