Lochie Ferrier is a young test pilot who lives in Oakland, CA with his lady friend Cassidy, an accomplished pilot in her own right, as well as their Canard type-rated Labrador, Kane. His Cozy Mark IV N656TE built by Dr. Thane Ostroth is based at Hayward Municipal KHWD.

Born in Armidale, Australia, Lochie moved to Canberra (Kan-brugh) Australia when he was 12, and then later to the United States in 2014 to attend college at the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he earned an Aerospace Engineering Degree. He received his undergraduate in 2019 and is presently working towards his Masters in the area of flight testing.

Lochie’s flown prototypes for the electric aircraft company Beta based in Burlington, Vermont including their electric design “Alia” for over 100 hours. He is presently working at Magpie Aviation in Hayward, CA.

Although Lochie is new to the Canard Community and only recently began operating a Cozy Mark IV, his reach for the sky began in his youth where he learned to fly gliders back in Canberra.
