Paul BJ Ransbury

Paul "BJ" Ransbury, President
Aviation Performance Solutions, LLC

Paul "BJ" Ransbury has been flying professionally for 25 years. In January 2006, he proudly accepted the position of President of Aviation Performance Solutions, LLC (APS). 

Mr. Ransbury's flight experience spans a wide spectrum from general aviation advanced flight instruction to hard-charging unlimited category air show aerobatic displays to scheduled airlines to military fighter operations. 

Throughout his career as a professional pilot and business entrepreneur, Mr. Ransbury has been keenly interested in the development of programs that bring high-performance aviation into the hands of the general public and to aviators of all skill levels. Driven by a responsibility to improve safety of flight to save lives in the aviation industry, he has been developing innovative training techniques and advanced flight training courses for individual pilots, corporate flight departments, government agencies and aircraft manufacturers for 13 years. 

While insisting on being in the cockpit with APS clients as often as possible, Mr. Ransbury's primary focus has been to assess the continually changing need for advanced flight training in aviation worldwide. As one of only twenty Master CFIs in the nation holding an aerobatic accreditation, his on-going analysis of program effectiveness in relation to market demands keeps APS on the leading edge of providing training solutions to a wide variety of operators.  His friendly demeanor, combined with an in-depth expertise in edge-of-the-envelope aerodynamics and recovery techniques, uniquely bridges the gap between advanced training curriculums and a prospective company's corporate training objectives and flight safety needs through a one-on-one hands-on approach to customized course development.

Background: Mr. Ransbury, a permanent resident of the United States, graduated from the Royal Military College of Canada in 1988 with a B.Sc. in Honors Mathematics and Physics. After 12 years serving as a military officer and fighter pilot in the Canadian Armed Forces flying the F/A-18 Hornet, he spent two years as a scheduled airline pilot flying the Airbus A320. His high-performance civilian aviation career continued as a professional international air show pilot and was hallmarked with his air show team being featured in an IMAX 3D feature film distributed around the world. Now entering his 13th year holding consecutive positions of Chief Executive Officer and President of leading-edge North American advanced flight training organizations, Mr. Ransbury remains centered on improving safety of flight in the aviation industry. He is currently pursing the completion of his MBA with the University of Phoenix.
