Job description

Location: Topeka, KS (KFOE)

Job Type: Full-time, Not Commutable

Operation: Part 91

Reports to: Chief Pilot and Director of Operations (as needed)

This is not a checklist role. It’s a left-seat career.

At Vaerus Aviation, we’re looking for a Pilot in Command who values judgment, preparation, and professionalism, and wants an operation that respects all three.

If you’re an experienced PIC who believes the quality of the operation determines the quality of your life, this may be the role you’ve been looking for.

What This Role Actually Feels Like

• You’ll fly well-maintained business aircraft with realistic planning, clear communication, and a team that understands aviation from the cockpit outward.


• You won’t be rushed into poor decisions.


• You won’t be second-guessed after good ones.


• You won’t be treated like a seat-filler.


• You’ll be trusted to command the aircraft and the mission.

Aircraft & Mission Profile

Our operation includes a mix of jet and turboprop flying, supporting a variety of business and personal travel missions.

What We Value In a PIC

This role is a strong fit for pilots who:

• Prepare thoroughly and think ahead


• Communicate clearly and calmly


• Respect SOPs while exercising sound judgment


• Value professionalism over heroics


• Care about building a sustainable flying career

If you’re chasing flight hours or a fast upgrade, this likely isn’t the right seat.

If you’re building a career, it might be.

The Vaerus Operating Environment

Maintenance culture focused on reliability and transparency

Leadership that respects PIC authority

Planning that reduces chaos, not creates it

A culture that supports longevity, not burnout

Our pilots stay because the operation makes sense.

Minimum Qualifications Include

• Hold an Airline Transport Pilot Certificate with Multi-Engine Rating


• Possess CE560XL Or BE400 Type Rating (Preferred)


• Minimum 3,000 hours total flight time


• Minimum 500 hours in type


• Possess a Second Class FAA Medical Certificate or higher


• Possess a US Passport and driver’s license


• FCC Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit


• Experience in corporate aircraft demonstrates the adaptability, systems knowledge, and operational judgment we value. If you bring most - but not all - of this experience, we’re still open to the conversation.

Confidential by Design

We understand that experienced PICs don’t job hunt loudly. If you’re curious but discreet, every inquiry is handled privately and professionally.

Start a confidential pilot-to-pilot conversation

No recruiters.

No automated systems.

Just a direct discussion with people who understand the left seat.
