About the role

We are a private, family-owned and operated flight department seeking an experienced, professional, and discreet pilot to operate our new Pilatus PC-24 under Part 91. This is a long-term position supporting domestic and international travel for a single ownership group. You'll be joining a small, tight-knit operation where professionalism, safety, and a service mindset matter as much as stick-and-rudder skill.

This is first and foremost a PC-24 role, and we are looking for a pilot who is current and genuinely experienced in the aircraft — not someone who will learn it on the job. In addition to flying the PC-24, the selected pilot will be trained and type-rated on our Gulfstream G650 at our expense, and will serve as a crew member on that aircraft as the operation requires. In short: bring us your PC-24 expertise, and we'll invest in your G650 qualification.

Responsibilities

• Serve as pilot for the safe, efficient, and compliant operation of the PC-24 under FAR Part 91

• Once type-rated, operate the G650 / G650ER as a crew member on domestic and international trips

• Conduct thorough flight planning, including international, oceanic, and long-range operations

• Coordinate trip logistics — scheduling, catering, ground handling, customs, international permits, and overflight requirements

• Help track aircraft maintenance status in coordination with maintenance providers and any management company

• Maintain currency, training, certificates, and records on both aircraft

• Work collaboratively as part of a professional crew with a strong CRM culture

• Deliver a high level of discretion, confidentiality, and white-glove service to the family and their guests

• Keep the aircraft clean, stocked, and trip-ready between flights

Requirements

All candidates:

• FAA Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) certificate

• FAA First-Class Medical

• Valid passport with the ability to travel internationally without restriction

• Excellent judgment, professionalism, discretion, and interpersonal skills

• Flexibility with scheduling, including evenings, weekends, holidays, and last-minute trips

• Clean driving and background record; able to pass background check and drug/alcohol screening

• Experience operating into performance-limited and noise-sensitive airports a plus (KSNA-based operations included)

Pilatus PC-24 (required — not sponsored):

• Current PC-24 type rating, in good standing with recent recurrent training

• Significant, demonstrable PC-24 experience — this is a hard requirement; we are seeking a pilot who is highly proficient and current in type, not transitioning into it

• Strong single-pilot and/or two-crew PC-24 operational discipline, SOP adherence, and systems knowledge

Gulfstream G650 (we sponsor):

• A G650 type rating is not required — we will fund initial type-rating training and recurrent for the right candidate

• Large-cabin, oceanic, or long-range experience is a plus, but not required

Local residency — required (no commuters)

This position is based in Orange County, California, and the pilot must live in the greater Orange County area. We are not hiring a commuter. We are happy to support and welcome candidates relocating from elsewhere — but relocation must be a genuine, permanent move to establish local residence near KSNA. Applicants who intend to commute in from another city, state, or region will not be considered.
