POSITION SUMMARY

The Chief Pilot supervises all flight crew personnel and exercises operational control over company flights conducted under REVA 14 CFR Part 135 certificates. The position is accountable for the qualification, standardization, scheduling, and supervision of company pilots, and is the management official responsible to the Director of Operations for the safe and efficient conduct of flight operations.

The Chief Pilot conducts or supervises all training activities of flight crew personnel and owns the development, FAA approval, delivery, and continuous improvement of flight crewmember training programs, the maintenance and audit of all pilot training records, and the oversight of Instructor Pilots and Check Airmen in house and at contracted training providers. The Chief Pilot serves as a point of contact with the FAA Flight Standards District Office on flight crew qualification and training matters for each certificate.

This is a working leadership role rather than a purely administrative one. The Chief Pilot maintains proficiency as Pilot-in-Command, instructs ground and line training personally, performs crewmember evaluations as an authorized Check Airman, exercises operational control on a scheduled basis, and flies revenue and special mission legs as qualification and schedule permit. Because the role spans two certificates, the incumbent is responsible for keeping each certificate's operations, training program, approvals, and records distinct and independently auditable.
