Our mission
Opening the cockpit door for everyone.
Future Pilots Mentoring is a non-profit connecting aspiring pilot students with real, working pilots — for free. Because the runway to a flying career should not depend on who you know.

How it works
Three steps between you and your mentor.
- 1
Choose your mentor
Search real, working pilots by gender, ethnicity, continent, country, airline and rank — and pick someone who matches your dream.
- 2
Send a request
Introduce yourself and say what you are hoping for. Your request goes straight to the pilot you chose.
- 3
Chat, draw and share
Once accepted, you get a private chat with file sharing, a shared drawing whiteboard, and your mentor's shared flights.
Our founder
Built on research. Founded by a pilot.
Future Pilots Mentoring was founded by Jan-Michael Nevlund — an airline pilot and university alumnus at Lund University. The research behind it reaches a simple conclusion:
“Talent is everywhere — access is not.”
The cost of flight training, the lack of role models, geography and simply not knowing anyone in the industry stop talented people long before talent ever gets a chance. A mentor who has already flown the route can change that.
What we believe
Free, always
Mentoring is and stays free for every student. Access to knowledge should never depend on your wallet.
Privacy first
Students choose their mentors. Pilots never browse student profiles — they only see the students who reach out to them.
Safe & respectful
Clear mentor guidelines, a reporting path to real people, and a community students, parents and schools can trust.
Representation
Role models who share your background make the dream reachable. Talent is everywhere — access is not.
