(Based in Sioux Lookout (ON), Thunder Bay (ON), Kitchener-Waterloo (ON), or St. Andrews (MB))
You have your Commercial Pilot Licence, Multi-Engine IFR, and at least 250 hours total time. You’re ready to take the next step and start building real operational experience. This is your opportunity to do exactly that.
SkyCare’s Captain Development Program is a structured pathway from day one to a Captain role on turbine aircraft, with pilots typically reaching this milestone within a few years based on performance and operational needs.
Flying That Matters
At SkyCare, you're part of the mission from day one. From medevac flights supporting remote northern communities to time-critical cargo and specialized charter operations across North America and the Caribbean, every member of our team plays a direct role in making that happen.
Your Path to Captain
SkyCare’s Captain Development Program is one of the most structured and supported pathways in Canadian aviation. You’ll begin your journey in a ground-based operational role as an Operations Coordinator or Aircraft Groomer, building the operational knowledge, situational awareness, and professionalism that define great turbine Captains.
This initial phase is designed to provide hands-on experience in real-world operations and typically lasts several months, depending on performance and operational needs. From there, you will progress to the Navajo First Officer seat and ultimately the left seat on the Metro.
Progression is based on performance, training completion, and operational readiness, with pilots advancing as they demonstrate strong decision-making, professionalism, and situational awareness.
