Blue Jay Aviation
The Pilots' Home, led by mentors from across the industry — contributing, empowering, and shaping the Israeli pilot community, worldwide.
The Home of Israeli Pilots
The home for everything a pilot needs.
The only place where you can know for certain: everyone you talk to is an active professional pilot or a carefully vetted mentor. Knowledge from the field. Real people.
Blue Jay Aviation was founded by Naomi Schayek with one belief: Israeli pilots deserve a real professional home. Not a WhatsApp group. Not a Facebook forum. A community built for professionals, by professionals.
Led by Maor Meir Cohen, alongside 15 active mentors.

What the Community Says
Thank you for the opportunity to learn from the best. The knowledge shared here is truly invaluable.
Your investment and desire to help are simply inspiring. It's wonderful to see the community grow because of you.
Thank you for another incredible session! Every tip like this is worth hours of self-study on the outside.
Proud to be part of a home that brings together the most professional mentors in the industry today.
Do you still have questions?
We believe you will find the answers here.
How can I ask a question and get an answer from the mentors' team?
One of the biggest challenges pilots face (whether they are just starting out or already experienced) is figuring out the credibility and authority of the person offering their opinion, whether professional or personal.
That's exactly why we built our mentor team thoughtfully: each member brings a different background to ensure we can match each club member with the most relevant mentor. This helps reduce misinformation (based on country, aviation authority, personal and professional background), and allows for precise, personalized answers.
We've chosen Telegram as our platform since it allows easy access to preserved information. Every club member can access it at any time, with just one click.
Does it cost to become a member?
Our Telegram community is free and very informative to all pilots.
Our Webinars and Events have a minimum payment.
I'm not a pilot yet. Can I join the club?
Unlike many communities found online today, Blue Jay Aviation is a Professional Club: meaning it is intended for pilots who have already begun their professional journey with the goal of becoming career pilots.
However, if you'd like to stay updated with the content shared in the community, you're more than welcome to follow us on Instagram and our Telegram channel.
Once you start the journey to become a professional pilot, we would love you to join us. Please let us know. We are excited for you!
I started my flight training abroad, but I'm not sure how to handle taxes and insurance. Where do I begin?
This is one of the most common questions among pilots studying abroad, especially when it comes to taxes, rights, and insurance coverage.
First and foremost, we strongly urge you to consult with a certified professional for personalized advice, as this is a highly individual matter (even depending on your family situation!).
Fortunately, we hosted CPA and international taxation expert Nadav Yamin, who shed light on the topic and shared what we should consider before making decisions.
I hold a foreign pilot license. What's the best way to convert it to an Israeli pilot license?
Congratulations and welcome back to the Land of Israel!
Recently, there has been a positive shift in Israeli aviation and a growing demand for Israeli licenses, which also brings some confusion.
You've come to the right place! We have an article that clarifies the process, which can be overwhelming for many.
Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend the webinar. Can I still access the content?
No worries! All webinars are fully recorded. If you signed up, access will be granted so you can watch it anytime, from anywhere. We've got you covered.
What type of events does the club offer?
We host monthly online Webinars and have an in-person meetup twice a year.
Join our Telegram community, where we post important updates (including webinars, benefits, conferences, and events), and enjoy exclusive perks for our dedicated members.
Not in yet? It's time.
Community, support, networking, unlimited knowledge, job opportunities. All waiting for you.
