Eloise Doran-Knowles

Charter Pilot | Grade 1 Flight Instructor

Eloise grew up on a small island off the coast of France, where the only way to reach the mainland was by plane - that’s where her love of flying first began. After moving to Australia, Eloise earned her RPL and PPL in the Hunter Valley soon after finishing high school. She then moved to Townsville to complete her CPL and MEIR with NAA, before heading to the Gold Coast to gain her Instructor Rating. Not long after, Eloise returned to Townsville to begin instructing with NAA. Within two years she achieved her Grade 1 Instructor Rating, becoming the youngest female in Australia to do so — something both Eloise and the NAA team are incredibly proud of.

Eloise has experience flying the following aircraft:
