Kris Moell

CEO @ Frost Unmanned

About

With over a decade of experience in aviation, I began my professional flying career in 2011, transitioning to the role of captain in 2015. My journey has taken me from the skies of the United States to the dynamic landscapes of Indonesia, where I sharpened not only my technical skills but also my leadership and decision-making abilities. In January 2023, I made the pivotal decision to step away from the cockpit to embrace a new challenge—leading Frost Unmanned as CEO. At Frost Unmanned, we are at the forefront of developing cutting-edge unmanned platforms that push the boundaries of what’s possible in unmanned flight. This role allows me to merge my deep passion for aviation with my drive for innovation and technology. I am driven by a desire to make a broader impact, moving beyond the confines of traditional aviation to influence the future of unmanned systems. My focus is on fostering growth, both personally and within the industry, by leveraging new technologies and innovative approaches to create solutions that meet the evolving needs of our clients. If you share a passion for aviation, technology, or leadership, I’d love to connect. Let’s explore how we can collaborate to shape the future of unmanned systems and beyond.

Captain Pilatus Porter PC-6

Susi Air

2015-12 - 2023-3 · 7 yrs 4 mos

Jakarta, Indonesia

Susi Air is one of the largest 135 operators in the world. I gained some 3,600 taildragger hours on the Pilatus Porter PC-6 during my time in Susi Air. Most of this from high altitude mountain flying, with daily landings at short and sloped runways. I was assigned Papua, Indonesia as my work area, and gained significant experience in this area. I also functioned as a company check pilot for two years, and a line instructor for several five years.

I was performing as a company check pilot for two years with Susi Air, before I had to convert my licenses from FAA to a local Indonesian DGCA license.

Safety Officer

Jakarta, Indonesia

I worked under the safety manager as a fleet safety officer for the Pilatus Porter fleet in Susi Air. At the time, we had 9 such airplanes in our fleet, and the safety officer job was an important position in keeping up to date with reports around poor runway conditions, runway incursions, grassy runways needing care, security factors at our remote destinations, and risk assessment of new and unopened runways.

Jakarta, Indonesia

During my time as a captain for Susi Air on the Cessna Grand Caravan C208B, I was assigned to the company's Borneo base, and got to fly into a wide variety of locations on the island. I only stayed as a captain on the Caravan for two months, before moving onto the Pilatus Porter PC-6.

First Officer

Susi Air

2014-1 - 2015-10 · 1 yr 10 mos

Jakarta, Indonesia

My first position with Susi Air was as a first officer on the Cessna Grand Caravan C208B. More than 80% of this time I spent as a first officer in Indonesian Papua, which is considered some of the most challenging flying environments in the world. The experience I gained here, was critical to why I wanted to eventually fly the Pilatus Porter for Susi Air.
