Jet Setting Wealth Advisory

Dylan Caldwell is an experienced FAA-certified aviation medical examiner dedicated to maintaining pilot health. With a background in emergency medicine and a passion for flying, Caldwell transitioned to aviation medicine five years ago and understands the critical importance of keeping pilots healthy. He emphasizes the significance of weight management and lifestyle changes such as healthy eating and regular exercise to prevent conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes, which are crucial for passing medical exams. Caldwell adeptly navigates the FAA bureaucracy to help pilots manage their health issues and return to the skies, ensuring that they can continue to fly safely and maintain their aviation licenses.

Here’s what to expect in this episode:

• Different classes of medical certificates are required based on the type of pilot, such as third class for private pilots and first class for airline transport pilots.

• Pilots with certain medical conditions like hypothyroidism or high blood pressure need to provide detailed progress notes from their doctors to maintain their medical certificates.

• Dr. Caldwell emphasizes the importance of weight management, regular exercise, and healthy eating habits for pilots' well-being.

• FAA updates aviation medical standards regularly, including recent changes in handling pilots with past episodes of depression or anxiety.

• Aviation Medical Examiners (AMEs) are crucial in guiding pilots with medical conditions that do not meet regulatory standards to specialists.

Want to build wealth beyond your airline paycheck and 401(k)?

On the latest episode of Jet Setting Wealth Advisory, David speaks with Tait Duryea, Founder and CEO of Turbine Capital, for a practical conversation on passive income, alternative investments, tax efficiency, and building long-term wealth beyond aviation. As an airline captain, third-generation aviator, real estate investor, and co-host of the Passive Income Pilots podcast, Tait shares how pilots can think differently about income, diversification, and financial freedom. From real estate and private credit to oil and gas, depreciation, 401(k) limitations, and proactive tax planning, this episode highlights why high income alone does not guarantee financial independence.

Key Takeaways:

→ High income does not automatically create financial freedom

→ Alternative investments can help create a “now bucket” outside of retirement accounts

→ Pilots need education beyond 401(k) planning to make more informed financial decisions

→ Real estate, oil, and gas investments may offer tax advantages when structured properly

→ Building passive income can make flying a choice, not just a financial requirement
