Contract Pilot — Cessna 340A
About The Position
We are seeking a contract pilot(s) to fly a Cessna 340A under Part 91 based at Conroe-North Houston Regional Airport (KCXO). This is an as-needed contract position covering owner-directed trips, repositioning, and maintenance flights. The right pilot will be professional, safety-focused, and comfortable operating a pressurized piston twin in the Gulf Coast environment — summer heat, coastal weather, and single-pilot IFR in busy Houston-area airspace. We are looking for a long-term working relationship. As flight activity grows, this contract role has the potential to convert to a full-time salaried position.

- 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

- 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)
