They Laughed When I Sat Down in the Cockpit
The day I told my family . . .
I was going to be pilot.
I remember the exact moment I knew what I was going to do with my life. It was on a trip to Disneyland.
My parents worked it out so I could see the cockpit of the jet we took to Florida. It was the first time I ever flew. The first time I ever saw a jet from the inside. Heck, it was the first time I ever left my hometown. The first time I figured out people got paid to fly.
I remember everything about that day. I got to sit in the cockpit of the airliner . . . and everyone laughed at me.
Nobody said it out loud . . . but I knew what the snickers and laughs were about. “Hey kid, you got a better chance sittin’ behind a factory machine (like 95% of my hometown) than you do behind the controls of an airplane . . .
But the laughs didn’t matter . . . my mind was set. I knew what I was going to be when I “grew up”. At the time I was 15.
Twelve years later, after starting as an Army medic, I got my wish and started Flight School.
Not long after Army Flight School I transferred to the Coast Guard and flew Search & Rescue for the next six years. The same year my first son was born we (my wife and new baby) left the Coast Guard to start the air medical flying journey. That was 13 years ago.
It was a great journey . . . but not a very smooth or easy journey.
Small group coaching is about making your path straighter . . . and smoother . . . and easier.
A personalized connect-the-dots flight plan you can follow to your dream job.

You’re not lazy and you’re not afraid to put the work into getting the job you want.
But sometimes it’s hard to figure out just what kind of work you’re supposed to be doing, right? What if there were step-by-step directions that a person could just follow?
A straightforward Flight Plan you follow to a Flight Nurse, Flight Medic, EMS Pilot or Dispatcher Job?[/text_block]
That’s how our small group coaching works.

–A Connect-the-Dots Personalized Flight Plan
[op_liveeditor_element data-style=””][text_block style=”undefined” align=”left”]At Emergency Medical Services Flight Safety Network, we turned getting a flight job into easy to follow, actionable steps you complete one at a time until you get your first flight nurse, flight medic, EMS pilot or dispatcher job. Literally, a connect-the-dots personalized Flight Plan.[/text_block][/op_liveeditor_element]
[op_liveeditor_elements][/op_liveeditor_elements]
Why Following a Flight Plan is Important
Simple. Following a flight plan saves you a ton of time and money.
If you know where to go and what to do next, you avoid roads that lead to nowhere; or worse yet, roads that take you so far off course that it sets your whole plan back by months or years; and then costs you more time and money to get back on track.
I know I could have really used a flight plan 29 years ago when I started my medical career as an Army Combat Medical Specialist. And I would have really appreciated a flight plan again when I started flying as an Emergency Medical Services pilot.
In small group coaching, each week you get training on the next step in the get a flight job process.
You also get the power of group mastermind working for you.[/text_block]
Maybe it’s everyone working toward the same goal? Our students tell us “for the first time, instead of being attacked like I was in most forums . . . other people actually tried to help me.”
Or maybe it’s the feel of almost one-on-one training during the weekly coaching calls?
Or the comments others in your group leave inside the member’s only training area?
Or all the satisfied Paramedics, Nurses, Pilots and Dispatchers who reach their goal through this type of training?
We don’t know what it is for sure . . . and it’s probably different for every person we coach. But for sure, small groups are special, and small groups get results.

And You’ll Never Work Another Day
The real deal . . .
But the rest of the story is that most flight paramedics and nurses started out just like you. They were concerned about their skills not being good enough, or not being in good enough physical shape, breaking free from the rut, or a mistake in their past keeping them from their dreams. But you know what? They did it.
So did I.
And so can you.
If you’re having any of these feelings or doubts . . .
It’s okay. It’s completely natural.
The secret to eliminating fear and doubt . . . is to take action! Start moving toward your goals today.[/text_block]
Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.
Leonardo da Vinci, Teacher & Philosopher
Your New Office –A Medical Helicopter
Showing up at your ‘office’ — which is really an air medical helicopter or airplane.
Then taking report from the off-going flight medic & nurse, checking equipment and immediately getting paged out to the scene of a multi-car interstate pile up. It’s heart-pounding exciting and humbling all at the same time.
Think about what it’s like to land at an accident scene and see everyone breathe a sigh of relief the moment you and your partner hop out of the helicopter. Because they know when you show up, things just got better. They know the help they need just arrived. Imagine being part of a flight team. Imagine doing your very best for the patients you can help — and getting them to trauma centers in time. Imagine what it feels like to save a life and have one of the survivors come back to thank you in person.[/text_block]
Of course, not every flight is dramatic. Some are just routine hospital transfers. A patient needs a specialist and it’s your job to get them from one hospital to another safely. So you package up the patient and spend the afternoon flying from one hospital to another.
The truth is that you never know exactly what your day will bring until it happens. But for some people (almost all trauma junkies) that’s part of the excitement. The anticipation of the next call. The excitement of not knowing what’s next, but the confidence of knowing you can handle whatever comes your way.
It really is a job like no other. It really is the best job ever.[/text_block]
A Special Feeling
Or the feeling you get opening a crayon-drawn helicopter thank you card . . . from a 6-year old girl you flew from a car crash to a trauma center.
Who Can Put a Price on Happiness?
“Find a job you love and you’ll never work another day.”
It’s true.
When you love your job, it doesn’t seem like work. Air medical flight crews describe their work this way. They love what they do. Many admit they would gladly do it for free, or even pay for the chance to fly and help people.
It makes sense. Flying in a multi-million dollar aircraft. Co-workers you think of as second-family. The chance to give something special and valuable to your community – each and every day.
For many, flying air medical is a dream come true.

Listen to What Others Say About Us
Before I found Flight Safety Network I was a nevous wreck about my flight interview. I read books and researched online forums but Flight Safety Network beat them all. I now feel excited about sharing my past experience in a flight interview and getting on with my air ambulance career. I am no longer in a state of continual worry. Flight Safety Network’s coaching program has taken such a load off my mind. Now I can relax and know I am going into my interviews completely prepared.
Gail Terry, MPH, EMT-P, Flight Paramedic, Fernandina Beach, FL
Flight Safety Network took me by the hand and showed me what to do for every step of the ‘get a flight job’ process.
Troy’s advice on how to write a flight resume and cover letter was priceless. His sample interview questions and tips on what to look for in a flight program are worth the price of the whole home study course.
I worked really hard to earn my FP-C and CCEMT-P certifications, I don’t want a stupid mistake or something I just don’t know about the industry to keep me from landing my dream job. Flight Safety Network took care of all the details so I didn’t have to worry.
Rob Baughman, FP-C, CCEMT-P, Chambersburg, PA
Flight Safety Network helped me clearly understand the real opportunities available in the air medical industry. Troy quickly put me at ease and made recommendations that made perfect sense for my personal and professional career goals. If your serious about getting started with an air ambulance job, you owe it to yourself to get in touch with Flight Safety Network. I am so glad I did. Now I have a goal and a path to follow.
Laura Tremaine, EMT, San Anselmo, CA
My coaching session with Flight Safety Network was awesome! It confirmed the path I’m following to a profesional flight crew career is a good one. Troy listened to the steps I’ve taken so far, and made recommendations I can use, right now, today. They put me on a direct path to success. ”The Flight Stuff” eBook and ‘Get a Flight Job’ checklist are excellent resources. The personal coaching session was icing on the cake.
Joseph Sparks, EMT-P, St. Petersburg, FL
I was skeptical when I first found Flight Safety Network. I really did not want to spend money on stuff I figured I already knew. And with 21 years’ experience as a medic, I didn’t think there was too much I hadn’t already seen.
After completing the Flight Safety Network audio course and coaching with Troy, all I can say is – Wow! I am so glad I bought the training. It was worth every penny and then some!
The flight interview tips and fast-action worksheets were priceless. The course teaches what questions to expect in a flight interview and exactly how to answer. Some answers I used ‘as is’ during my interview.
Nothing speaks louder than results, as they say. Next week I start my training to fly for one of the best air medical teams in the United States. Thank you, Flight Safety Network!
Rod Witkos, Flight Paramedic, FP-C, UMASS Memorial LifeFlight, Worcester, MA
Flight Safety Network is terrific. They gave me straight forward, easy to understand advice and clear directions on how best to get started on an air ambulance flight crew career.
I had no idea how a flight interview worked or what to expect until speaking with the experts at Flight Safety Network.
Troy quickly put my fears to rest, and for the first time, I felt like wow, I can really do this! I now know one day I’ll earn the title of ‘Flight Crew’. I really can’t thank them enough.
Jess Riddle, EMT, Anaconda, MT
Flight Safety Network gave me the exact advice I needed to start my air medical career with confidence. Sometimes you just need to talk to someone who’s been there, done that, to know you’re on the right track.
Troy listened to my personal situation and then customized an easy-to-follow, step-by-step road map for me to reach my flight goals in the shortest time possible without messing up my family situation. Now that I have a plan I know will work, I’m so excited to get started it’s all i can think about.
Catheleen Kloczowski, EMT, Ilion, NY
Flight Safety Network coached me to my first flight job. Before I found Flight Safety Network, I went on interviews, never got a call back and didn’t understand why. The tips in the audio course and Troy’s personal coaching were right on.
After listening to the audio course and working with Troy it almost seemed “unfair.” Once you know what to say and look for, and have the confidence to show your skills and talk about your past experiences, it’s just a matter of time until you get hired.”
