Private jet pilots must hold valid licenses and undergo necessary training. They are tasked with planning flights according to client preferences while adhering to safety protocols. Confidentiality is also crucial due to the nature of their clientele.

In addition to piloting roles within private aviation companies or charter services across Canada’s metropolitan areas like Windsor or Victoria—where salaries can exceed six figures—related positions offer competitive pay. Pilatus pilot jobs in Manitoba can pay up to 175% more than the average salary for private jet pilots.

Aspiring pilots must complete rigorous training including ground school education and dual flying lessons before obtaining a license that allows them to fly solo or carry passengers.
