Prepare for your next aviation career step. With confidence.

Cleared4Career exists to take the mystery, anxiety, and guesswork out of pursuing a professional pilot career. Many pilots end up relying on forums to compare their progress against those receiving job offers or rejections, without clear benchmarks, patterns, or trends.

Founded by a pilot and researcher with a background in large-scale data analysis and professional flight instruction, Cleared4Career was built on a simple idea: better career decisions come from better information.

By collecting and analyzing real hiring outcomes, and reporting them responsibly, Cleared4Career helps aspiring professional pilots understand where they stand and what realistic next steps look like.

This work takes shape through a free Community Hiring Trends Report and an optional Personalized Competitiveness Score report, currently offered at a discounted rate while the initial dataset is being built.
