Real-World Operational Expertise to Help Organisations in High-Consequence Environments
Parachute Consulting Solutions parachutes in practical, focused, strategic and affordable advice in four areas: aviation, business development, operations performance and logistics, safety and risk management. Whether you are a start up, or an existing organisation involved in land, sea or air operations, PCS delivers tailored and relevant interventions to help you get started, take the next step, or improve your current performance, and manage risk.
Relevance Not Legacy
PCS does not do everything for everyone. It does a few things exceptionally well, delivered with direct accountability from diagnosis through results.
Precision Over Generality
Deep capability. Experience That Translates.
PCS operates in four areas where Michael Young has built genuine, tested expertise. Clients get focused capability applied directly to their situation — not generalist advice stretched thin.
Executive-Level Accountability
Direct engagement. No handoffs.
When you engage PCS, you work with Michael Young from the first conversation to the final deliverable. The person who diagnoses the problem is the same person who helps you resolve it.
Built for staying relevant
Solutions designed to withstand future disruption.
PCS does not just fix the immediate issue. It builds the systems, capability, and clarity that organisations need to handle what comes next.
What We Do
Four specialised sectors.
Leveraging Lived Experience.
Each engagement is a defined intervention
not an open-ended advisory arrangement.
Results You Can Measure
Success stories demonstrate that interventions can be measured and a ‘before' and ‘after’ assessment demonstrates the change you anticipated
Flight Crew Productivity & Wellbeing Optimisation
The Situation
Flight crew utilisation is a multi-variable system influenced largely by internal policy, rostering practices, and technology. Historically, productivity (block hours flown) and wellbeing (days off) have been treated as competing priorities.

The Result
By achieving an increase in productivity alongside improved monthly days off, these changes have successfully optimized operational efficiency. This balance resulted in enhanced crew satisfaction and higher bid success rates, demonstrating a simultaneous gain in both performance and morale.
