Stronger pilots. Safer operations.
A practical, aviation-specific training program that builds the non-technical skills behind every good decision, every safe flight, and every high-performing pilot.
Developed by a military fast-jet pilot and qualified instructor. Built for real flight training environments, not adapted from generic corporate training.
Aircraft handling is teachable. The skills around it are often left to chance. Preparation, decision-making, briefing, managing pressure, communicating clearly. When those skills are inconsistent, students plateau. Errors repeat. Training becomes harder to standardise. The result is a gradual increase in time, training costs and risk across your entire operation.
The BVR Performance Non-Technical Skills Training Course gives flight schools, aviation organisations and individual pilots a structured, repeatable framework for closing that gap.
Flight training often focuses heavily on handling skills and procedures. While essential, they are only part of what makes a safe, consistent pilot. Non-technical skills fill the gap. They control how pilots prepare, how they manage workload, how they brief and debrief, and how effectively they make decisions under pressure.
Structured preparation and briefing methods
Better decision-making and error management
Improved communication and learning acceleration
Standardised frameworks and debriefing techniques
Understand the human factors that influence performance and develop practical strategies to manage them effectively from training day one.
Build effective pre-flight preparation routines, chair flying habits and mental rehearsal techniques that allow pilots to be performance ready prior to stepping into the aircraft.
Learn structured methods that improve communication, accelerate learning and raise the standard of every flight.
Strengthen the ability to prioritise, manage workload and make sound decisions under pressure. The skills that matter most when conditions change.
Recognise unhelpful thought patterns, manage performance pressure and build the confidence and resilience that consistent performance requires.
Provide instructors with the tools to effectively identify and debrief other pilots' performance, and ensure changes are made to their prep to promote progress.
Every module is built specifically for aviation environments. Nothing here has been adapted from generic leadership or corporate training content, this course contains proven techniques used by experienced pilots.
The course includes fatigue management training for instructors developed in accordance with CASA requirements, supporting instructor responsibility, safer training environments and better human performance awareness across your organisation.

Storm Fenech developed this course from direct experience as a military fast-jet pilot and qualified instructor who has worked across the full range of aviation training environments.
The frameworks in this course are not theoretical. They are systems that work in real training environments, under real pressure, with real pilots at every stage of their career. That is the difference between training content designed for aviation and content that has been repackaged from somewhere else.
Trusted by pilots and instructors across general aviation, airline, military and RPAS operations.
