• Maintain aircraft cleanliness and readiness between trips

• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation to KCXO
• Ability to pass a background check and provide a current pilot resume, certificates, medical, and logbook summary
• Clean FAA records — no accidents, incidents, violations, or enforcement actions

Experience

• 1,200 hours total time
• 200 hours multi-engine
• 50 hours instrument (actual and simulated)
• 25 hours in Cessna 340 or similar make and model (or an approved type-specific initial course)

Pilots close to these numbers are encouraged to apply — final requirements will be determined by insurance approval. We will review individual experience for qualification.

Preferred Qualifications

• Time in type — Cessna 340/340A
• Twin Cessna experience (300/400 series — 310, 320, 335, 340, 401, 402, 414, 421)

• ATP certificate
• CFI/CFII/MEI
• Familiarity with Houston-area airspace and Gulf Coast weather
• Garmin GTN / G500-series or comparable avionics proficiency
• Prior Part 91 owner-flown or corporate flight department experience
