Dr. Powell is an internationally recognized aviation physician with more than three decades of experience serving the aviation industry. He has held senior medical leadership positions with Air New Zealand, Virgin Australia, the International Air Transport Association (IATA), and the New Zealand Airline Pilots Association.

A Fellow of multiple aerospace and medical organizations, Dr. Powell has contributed to global aviation safety initiatives through his work with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the World Health Organization (WHO), and numerous international aviation medical committees. His research and publications have helped shape industry understanding of fatigue, pilot performance, aviation safety, infectious disease management, and occupational health.

Today, Dr. Powell continues to serve as a consultant in aviation medicine, Medical Director of the Safe Haven Initiative New Zealand, and advisor to aviation organizations worldwide. His unique combination of clinical expertise, operational aviation experience, academic leadership, and commitment to pilot wellbeing makes him a highly respected voice within the global aviation community.

Lyle Prouse was born in Wichita, Kansas in 1938. He is part Comanche and grew up in an alcoholic home in a World War II housing project. He was active in his Native American community. After graduating from High School in Wichita, Lyle joined the Marines as a private but made the rare transition from enlisted to commisioned officer and ultimately Captain, a jet fighter pilot flying combat missions in Vietnam.

After his discharge from the Corps, Lyle became an airline captain for Northwest Airlines and flew for nearly 22 years before the same alcoholism that killed his parents almost destroyed his life. He was the first commercial pilot ever arrested and sent to prison for flying drunk. 

The blistering media coverage was relentless as he was fired, stripped of all flying certificates, tried, convicted, and sent to Federal prison for sixteen months. The trial judge added sanctions on top of the conviction to guarantee he would never fly again. In spite of all the seemingly impossible obstacles, Lyle got sober, experienced many breathtaking miracles, returned to Northwest Airlines and retired as a 747 captain. In January of 2001 he received a full Presidential pardon from then President Bill Clinton.

Today, Lyle is a husband, father, and grandfather. He has been sober over 28 years and has devoted his life to helping others overcome alcoholism. He is still flying and has participated with all the major airlines in their ongoing alcohol programs. He remains active in Native American sobriety movements.

Lyle and wife Barbara have been married for over 56 years and reside in the Altanta area.
