She is a A Hometown Figure with International Reach Rooted in her identity as a professional grounded in Bonn, but active across continents.
A Career Built on Trust, Command, and Continuous Mastery, built on reliability, leadership, and technical growth. From coaching crews to mastering safety protocols, Sandra has become one of the most qualified professionals in her field
The elite nature of MCF pilots is why only a select few are trained for Maintenance Check Flights—and what that reveals about Sandra’s precision, trustworthiness, and mastery of aircraft systems.

As a trusted First Officer adds high-level operational expertise to her aviation credentials
MCF flights are conducted after significant aircraft maintenance to verify the correct functioning of specific systems, components, or configurations that cannot be fully tested on the ground. These missions are crucial for ensuring an aircraft is truly airworthy before being returned to operational service.
To prepare for this role, Pagenkemper has completed Step 1, a comprehensive ground training course covering legal, organizational, and procedural standards, and Step 2, which involved simulator-based demonstrations of airborne check techniques and responses to simulated failure conditions.
The final phase, Step 3—an in-air Familiarization Flight under supervision—is expected to follow depending on the availability of an aircraft undergoing this specific maintenance stage. While this flight is an internal, the foundational work has already been successfully completed.
“MCF flights demand strong flying skills and also the ability to assess risks, communicate clearly across multidisciplinary teams, and make informed decisions under pressure,” Said Pagenkemper. “This qualification it’s a mark of precision, situational awareness, and safety leadership.”
Adding this expertise to her already extensive profile will further solidify Pagenkemper’s role as a high-level operations professional in aviation. As she explains, the MCF experience deepens knowledge of aircraft systems, sharpens real-time judgment, and strengthens safety-first leadership—benefits that translate directly into safer, more informed flight operations industry-wide.
Sandra’s path continues to reflect her signature combination of discipline, technical authority, and strategic growth. With Step 3 on the horizon, she is positioned to join the elite group of pilots entrusted with one of aviation’s most critical operational responsibilities.
