Tim Loy, Trustee
Tim was exposed to general aviation as a kid. His father had a Mooney, 201AL, and regularly took up friends and out of town visitors to fly over Mt. St. Helens in the aftermath of its 1981 eruption. But it wasn’t until Tim’s youngest was a senior in high school that he finally got a greenlight from his wife, Amy, to pursue his long stated goal of learning to fly. Twenty hours into training in a Cessna 172, Tim asked his instructor if he’d ever had to put down in a field, and the instructor said “Yes. Twice, as a matter of fact. Both times in this airplane!” The next day, Tim went under contract for an SR22T G6 and did the remainder of his private and instrument in a Cirrus, and now flies primarily to hopscotch between business locations spread across the country. He took delivery of a new SR22T, 211AL, in late 2022.
Tim’s business is a safety company, Mallory Safety, that distributes safety products, provides safety training and safety managers, so he spends a lot of time thinking about how to build a safety culture. He joined the SEF Board because, in many ways, aviation safety is the gold standard in developing safer practices and attitudes, and some of the work he was exposed to in a CPPP is really next level for general aviation. Tim’s particular focus on SEF is on marketing the training events and resources and fundraising, so if you are reading this, please consider attending one of the outstanding CPPP events, and if fortunate enough to be able to, please consider donating to the COPA SEF so that we can keep up with training that will keep you and other Cirrus pilot’s and their families and loved one’s safe through training that makes a difference, that keeps our perishable flying skills sharp, that fill in the gaps or complacency that may have crept into our flying technique or decision-making, and that helps us build a culture of safety among the Cirrus community. You can donate [HERE].
Tim is married to his high school sweetheart, Amy, who is a high school English teacher, they have either 2 or 5 kids, they reside in Portland, Oregon, and enjoy the outdoors, travel, family and friends.
