Designed for Pilots by Pilots

Flight Deck Ready is built for pilots by someone who’s flown, studied counseling, and understands what it means to carry pressure both in and out of the cockpit.

Not Therapy. Just Clarity

No clinical process. No labels. Just real conversations when you need to sort out stress, decisions, relationships, or burnout - without putting your medical at risk.

Actually Confidential

One careless note from a provider can put your wings at risk. That’s why Flight Deck Ready offers truly confidential support with no records and no risk to your medical. Just a clear, private conversation.

// Our Why

I’ve talked with pilots who carry enormous pressure at home and in the air and I kept hearing the same thing: ‘I can’t talk to anyone or I might lose my medical.’ That’s why I started Flight Deck Ready. Because clarity, support, and real conversations shouldn’t come with the risk of being grounded.

Bridging the gap between human support and aviation performance

Over half of all pilots avoid seeking mental health counseling due to the stigma and real risk of losing their medical (and therefore being grounded). Flight Deck Ready exists to make the skies safer and help pilots find true fulfillment and peace in their stressful and at times lonely career.

Founded by someone who has both flown aircraft and studied counseling, we understand the intensity of the job, the silence many pilots carry, and the limitations of traditional mental health support in this field.

We’re not therapists. We don’t diagnose. We simply offer clear, private conversations and coaching built on trust, understanding, and respect for the license you’ve worked hard to earn.

A variety of factors can effect the safety of your flight, here are just a few we can help you navigate

01

Stress & Anxiety

Navigate cockpit pressure, life turbulence, and long-haul stress without fear of a diagnosis. Talk through what’s keeping you tense—with zero paperwork.

02

Burnout & Fatigue

Flying demands focus—but when your tank is empty, even routine days feel overwhelming. These sessions help you reset, regroup, and prevent long-term fallout.

03

Loneliness & Isolation

Flying can be isolating, even when you’re surrounded by people. Flight Deck Ready gives pilots a private place to talk through the quiet weight of loneliness and reconnect with what matters most.

04

Relationship Issues

Relationships can be hard when you’re constantly away, mentally checked out, or trying to reconnect after long trips, even if it's just the beginning of issues, preventative help can help make your relationships and life more fulfilling

05

Grief & Loss

Grief can be hard to carry when you’re expected to keep flying like nothing happened. Flight Deck Ready gives pilots a private space to process loss without judgment, pressure, or risk to their medical.

06

Goal Setting and Performance

Whether it's weight loss, a personal project, or achieving your ATP. We can help coach you to living a more abundant life.

Ensure your pilots are mentally prepared for every flight

We believe in prevention. We believe that taking care of yourself early is a sign of strength, not weakness. And we believe that pilots deserve a place to speak freely, without risking their ability to fly.

One-on-One Coaching

Flying professionally takes mental sharpness, emotional control, and a steady hand. Flight Deck Ready gives you a confidential place to talk through stress, burnout, or personal challenges without risking your medical. No paperwork, no diagnosis, just real support built for pilots.

Workshops

Our workshops give pilots practical tools to manage stress, fatigue, and communication challenges before they lead to burnout or distraction. Crews who feel supported are more focused, take fewer sick days, and are less likely to quietly disengage or leave. These sessions directly support safer operations and long-term retention, saving your company real costs.

Full-time and Retainer Staff

We offer confidential, non-clinical coaching support embedded in your operation, either on retainer or as full-time staff. By giving pilots a trusted outlet to manage stress and personal issues early, you reduce preventable sick calls, unplanned time off, and costly turnover. A clear head in the flight deck also means fewer incidents, better CRM, and stronger margins where it matters most: safety and reliability.
