Welcome to Palisade Aviation

Palisade Aviation was started in 2019 to bring a common sense and “intentional” approach to aviation operations and training.  I was not ready to accept that “B+” would ever be good enough when it came to training pilots in the industry.  Too much emphasis is placed on assembly line style training with little time spent cultivating sound decision making and risk management that goes beyond “checking the box”. 

The truth is that it is not cost prohibitive to train with emphasis on thought process, understanding of the intent of regulations, and risk management that continues throughout the flight.  Decision making and risk management are more important than simply getting the job done.

I have been encouraged by the number of pilots and operators who share my way of thinking, and look forward to meeting more of you!  Contact me today to discuss how we might work together to solve some of the challenges that face your organization.

In the meantime, please take a few moments to look through my website.  Send me your thoughts and feedback.  I look forward to being in touch!
