Non-Radar Got You on the Ropes? You're Not Alone.

The radar phase is a different beast. Here's what I hear from students every single week:

๐Ÿ“ก

Radar Feels Like a Whole New World

The transition from non-radar to radar is jarring. New procedures, new timing, new mental demands โ€” and the clock is ticking faster than ever.

๐Ÿ“‰

Scores Dropping Despite Hard Work

You feel OK about non-radar, or worse. But you want your radar scores to reflect your effort. Your study methods need to evolve โ€” and fast.

๐Ÿ˜ค

Confidence Is Shaken

A bad problem set can spiral into self-doubt. You need someone who's been there to help you reset and refocus.

Struggling in radar doesn't mean you can't make it. It means you need the right guidance โ€” and that's exactly what this program delivers.

What You Get: Radar Recovery Coaching

This is not a generic course or a group webinar. This is dedicated, personalized 1:1 time with me โ€” focused entirely on your radar lab performance.

๐ŸŽฏ Radar-Specific Performance Analysis

We break down your radar problem sets to pinpoint exactly where errors, hesitation, and missed opportunities are happening โ€” then build a targeted recovery plan.

๐Ÿง  Radar Scan & Sequencing Strategies

Learn the mental models experienced radar controllers use to scan, sequence, and separate traffic โ€” the thinking patterns your instructors use but rarely teach explicitly.

๐Ÿ“š Radar Study System Overhaul

We rebuild your study routines specifically for radar โ€” reinforcing real retention of procedures, phraseology, and decision-making under pressure.

๐Ÿ“‹ Radar Eval Preparation

We talk about the mindset, mechanics, and scenario management you need to walk into your radar evals with preparation instead of panic.

๐Ÿ’ช Confidence Rebuilding & Stress Control

Practical strategies to manage performance anxiety, recover from setbacks, and stay locked in when the pressure peaks during radar scenarios.

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ Honest, Direct Feedback

Clear, respectful guidance about where you stand and what needs to change. No sugarcoating โ€” just 26 years of real-world experience working for you.

Why Work With Me on Radar?

I spent over 26 years as an FAA air traffic controller. After retiring, I taught both Non-Radar and Radar at the FAA Academy as an A-Lead and Lead instructor.

I've watched talented students hit a wall in radar โ€” not because they lacked ability, but because they needed better strategies, structured practice, and experienced mentorship that the Academy schedule simply can't provide.

Through the Side by Side ATC podcast (15+ months, 6,000+ downloads), I've connected with hundreds of students navigating this exact journey. I know what you're facing because I've lived it and taught it.

My radar coaching is built to help you recover, refocus, and perform closer to your true potential โ€” side by side.
