I was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for valor after pressing beyond limits in combat to help troops surrounded by the enemy and I will do the same for you as his client.

“Pressing beyond limits” is my personal motto in life and in the cockpit.

Current Aviation Research

• Develop innovative and unique techniques to combat pilot fatigue through diet, nutrition, and fitness programs.
• Author impacting, proactive, and relevant safety articles using facts from recent accidents, with a focus on breaking the code to combating human factors, to prevent accidents.
• Develop new methods to scan for traffic and manage distractions in Technically Advanced Aircraft to prevent midair collisions
• Test distraction management and adaptive airmanship concepts to decrease cockpit error in single-pilot IFR operations.

Prevention

…it’s not just an investigation. It’s all inclusive and based on the whole person concept. After the investigation is complete, the findings are used to formulate solutions to prevent another similar accident from happening again. From information sharing with safety organizations to writing articles, the name of the game is proactive accident prevention to make the skies safer for all.

Post accident mentoring and flight instruction

...post-accident consultations and flight instruction is available for pilots. If the FAA is focused on your license with a 44709 check ride or enforcement actions, I can give the pilot post-accident flight training to resolve issues that might have caused the accident.

Adaptive Airmanship™

...flight instruction and safety programs are based on “Adaptive Airmanship”. This is a revolutionary mindset with application to any cockpit regardless if it’s a jet or a general aviation light aircraft. Adaptive Airmanship is based on 30 years of research flying and attempting to break the code that drives the typical aviator. The fundamentals of Adaptive Airmanship enabled me to survive a career in the USAF flying fighters and pressing beyond limits.

I currently use Adaptive Airmanship™ concepts in my airline career and in my experimental Vans RV-4 aircraft to counteract threatening environments.

Remaining proactive to help others not repeat mistakes that kill with non-bureaucracy solutions for combating human factors and preventing pilot error is the core value of Adaptive Airmanship. I can design a safety program for you or your company that has application to all cockpits regardless if it's a J-3 Cub, a business jet, an F-16, or an airline cockpit.
