Get Your Flight School Part 141 Certified
We're not consultants. We're operators who've actually done this.
Why Flight Schools Choose Luminary Augmenters
We're not just fractional COOs. We're operators who've completed Part 141 certification. Brandon Martini founded NextGen Flight Academy and personally completed Part 141 FAA certification twice, not as a consultant reading Advisory Circulars, but as the operator navigating every regulatory requirement, documentation challenge, and operational adjustment needed to earn FAA approval. Now we're systematizing that experience to help other schools achieve the same.
If you're ready to unlock VA funding, train veterans, and scale your flight school with Part 141 certification, we can help you get there with realistic timelines and honest expectations.

Our Approach: Fractional COO Model
We've built and scaled businesses ourselves. We know the difference between advice that sounds good and systems that actually work.
You get senior executive leadership embedded in your business without the full-time executive salary. We own outcomes alongside you.
Our playbooks, templates, and workflows aren't theory. They're the exact systems we've used to build and scale multiple businesses.
We build it, implement it, train your team on it, and make sure it works in your business. No binders gathering dust.
We've solved your problems before. We bring proven solutions that deliver results in weeks, not months.
Meet Your Fractional COO Team
Scaling in 2026 demands more than strategy. It demands execution from leaders who've been in the trenches. We're Brandon Martini (NBAA 40 Under 40, Inc 5000 #113, Co-CEO of Stratus Financial) and Carson Vasquez (Chief of Staff at Stratus Financial, certificated pilot). We've built and scaled multiple companies past $10M, including NextGen Flight Academy, where Brandon completed Part 141 FAA certification twice.
We're not consultants pointing at problems. We're operators who've lived them, solved them, and systematized the solutions.
