Mariellen Couppee has lots of experience in the aviation/aerospace industry. She is a multi-engine flight instructor and owns, pilots, and operates multiple aircraft. She loves “everything airborne” from rockets to drones and all the airframes in between and serves on the FAA working groups for Airman and Mechanic Certification Systems (ACS). She recently was designated the lead for a FAA subgroup to revise the Advanced Avionics Handbook and was part of the General Aviation Awards 2024 nominating committee for Aviation Maintenance Technicians. She includes contract work for the FAA’s Flight Program Operations (AJF) Directorate and Flight Standard’s Training and Standardization, supporting FAA development of a Standardized Curriculum, technical writing, editing, and illustrations/designs.

Mariellen’s range of experience includes developing executive leadership presentations, websites for historic aircraft operations and collections, AI generated aircraft sales videos, developing popular presentations for sales toolkits for airlines and business aviation, technical reports, document organization, and developing visual documents for auditing airline processes and efficiency savings.

Prior to immersing her career in all facets of aviation and aerospace, Mariellen worked in the entertainment industry in Hollywood and corporate training industry as a producer, animator and composite artist, as well as courtroom graphic presentation designer for complex criminal cases. Her experience from Fortune 100 to start-up companies provided Ms. Couppee the ability to respond to change quickly while keeping the creative spark, user experience, and ideas flowing.

When she’s not working on creative projects, you’ll probably see her flying and crewing unique aircraft across the country, from Kreutzer K-5 Air Coach “baby tri-motor” monoplane across the country to a Great Lakes aerobatic biplane.
