Elite Pilot Coaching & Training Development Consulting

Let me show you how to take control of your performance—no more uncertainty after a break, in a new aircraft, with unfamiliar operations, or in challenging conditions. Using the science of deliberate practice, I’ll guide you through proven methods to build real expertise in the cockpit through targeted training, expert analysis, and actionable feedback.

These are the same methods I developed and applied as a Navy F/A-18 pilot and instructor—now customized to your specific goals, platform, and flying environment.

Most pilots feel like they're at the mercy of the aircraft, the weather, or the instructor.

They hope the winds aren’t too strong. Hope they remember everything. Hope they don’t get rattled.

I teach you how to take control—of the aircraft, the flight, and yourself.
Whether you’re flying a complex approach, managing an emergency, or just out for a cross-country, you’ll fly with confidence, clarity, and control—regardless of conditions or complexity.

I apply deliberate practice—the science-backed method behind elite performers in aviation, medicine, sports, and other high-performance domains.

It’s the same structured, feedback-driven training I used to prepare pilots for combat and carrier landings at night. Now, I apply it to your specific aircraft, operations, and goals.

What that means for you:

• Structured diagnosis of the true causes of your performance issues
• Custom tools and training strategies tailored to your aircraft and operating environment
• Focused skill development that goes far beyond minimum FAA requirements

Tangible, measurable improvement—so you know it’s working 

I work with pilots who are serious about improving, including:

• Military pilots in initial training, advanced programs, or operational flying roles
• Professional pilots flying for hire or transitioning to new equipment
• Private pilots who aren’t content with just staying current—they want command
• Student pilots who want to train with intent and accelerate their learning curve
• Anyone moving into more complex aircraft or demanding operations
• Pilots who know they’re capable of more but haven’t found a way to unlock it

Your aircraft doesn’t have to be mine. I’ve trained hundreds of pilots across a range of platforms and missions. You bring the context—I bring the method.

Note: My coaching is focused on the airplane category—not helicopters, gyros, etc. 

1. STRATEGIC CONSULTATION

We begin with a focused conversation about your goals, background, and current performance.

You’ll walk away with clarity, a direction, and a plan—not just vague encouragement.

2. CUSTOMIZED COACHING & TRAINING TOOLS

Every program is built from scratch for your situation. That may include:

• Custom-built audio, video, and multimedia training tools designed to target specific skill development and build automaticity
• Comms and procedural exercises to build fluency under pressure
• Deliberate practice routines that isolate specific skills and drive actual progress

You won’t leave a session wondering what you got out of it.
You’ll be more focused, more confident—and you’ll break a sweat. I make you work.

3. EXPERT GUIDANCE

Real coaching. Honest feedback. Adjusted over time to match your progress.
I’ll track what matters, give you direct feedback, and keep your training focused on what actually improves performance.

4. RESULTS THAT STICK

Through this process, you’ll build:

• Enhanced control of your aircraft in real-world conditions
• Increased situational awareness
• Sharper decision-making under pressure
• Reduced mental workload in complex environments
• Greater safety—for yourself, your passengers, and your mission
• Confidence that transforms how you approach every flight

When appropriate, coaching sessions can be logged as ground instruction toward FAA certification requirements.

Instruction is structured, intentional, and compliant—designed to build your performance and satisfy regulatory standards where they align.

This is not pay-by-the-hour instruction.
These are coaching programs designed to change the way you train and fly—permanently.

• Performance Breakthrough
  Short-term, high-intensity coaching focused on solving specific skill or mindset blocks
• Complete Performance Program
  A comprehensive system of training, feedback, and progression across all aspects of airmanship
• Ongoing Performance Coaching
  Long-term development and support for professionals and dedicated private pilots

In addition to individual coaching, I provide curriculum consulting and performance development support for flight schools, university programs, and operational training departments.

If your current training pipeline is producing inconsistent results—or if you're ready to raise the bar—I’ll help you apply the same deliberate practice principles used to train elite military aviators to maximize training efficiency, improve safety, and produce consistently high-performing pilots.

Services include:

• Full curriculum audit and training flow analysis
• Development of custom multimedia training tools (video, audio, guided exercises)
• Integration of deliberate practice strategies into your ground and simulator programs
• Instructor development and performance coaching systems
• Program redesign to eliminate wasted reps and align training with real-world skill outcomes

Whether you're running a Part 61 program, a Part 141 school, or managing an internal training pipeline, I’ll help you build a program that produces results—not just graduates.

We’ll talk about your goals, current capabilities, and whether my coaching is the right fit.
