Common Issues
Pitfalls that Pilots Often Face



Time Away
You spend lots of time away from home. Don’t waste the precious time you have worrying about financial planning. Allow a trusted expert to take care of it.



Recognized Income
Being notable for your income makes you a prime marketing target. Gain peace of mind through a well-thought-out plan.



Red-Eye
Pilots often get a terrible sleep schedule. Don’t lose sleep over financial stressors. Having a plan will allow you to relax when you need to.



Retirement Age
Since you can’t work past the FAA Mandatory Retirement age of 65, a financial plan is imperative to your future success in later years.



Student Debt
Pilots typically have $60-$120k accumulated in debt. A financial plan can help you pay off debt worry-free.



The Unexpected
It’s a volatile industry. Expect the unexpected so if you are faced with mergers, acquisitions, bankruptcy, or relocation, your financial plan will have you covered.



Medical
You must have a plan to maximize your benefits if you lose your FAA medical certification. Plan for medical expenses associated with your industry (radiation/cancer).



Accumulated Assets
When assets accumulate, it’s important to account for risk management, rules and regulations, investments, benefits, and taxes. Gain peace of mind knowing you have expert help.
