Contract Pilot / Flight Instructor -- Cirrus SR22

High Performance Aviation, LLC

Conroe, TX • On-site

Contractor

Posted 11 days ago

Job description

Location: Conroe-North Houston Regional Airport (KCXO), Conroe, TX Basing: Within approximately 1 hour of KCXO strongly preferred Type: Contract / 1099 Term: Approximately 2–4 months
About the RoleWe are seeking a Cirrus-qualified contract pilot and flight instructor to support a private aircraft owner based at Conroe-North Houston Regional Airport (KCXO).
The owner recently purchased a Cirrus SR22 (G2). He holds prior flight training in piston singles (not Cirrus), and is working toward completion of his Private Pilot Certificate followed by an Instrument Rating. In the meantime, the aircraft will be in active use for personal and business travel.
This is a dual-purpose role. You will serve as the owner's primary flight instructor while also acting as pilot-in-command for owner-directed travel. Many trips can be structured as instructional flights, allowing the owner to build meaningful dual and cross-country time toward his certificate while accomplishing real travel objectives.
The right candidate is a patient, structured instructor who is equally comfortable running a syllabus and flying a real-world single-pilot IFR trip in Gulf Coast weather and busy Houston-area airspace. Professionalism, discretion, and reliability matter as much as stick-and-rudder skill.
Responsibilities
  • Provide primary flight instruction toward the owner's Private Pilot Certificate, including ground instruction, and checkride preparation
  • Deliver a complete Cirrus transition program covering aircraft systems, avionics, autopilot management, CAPS decision-making, and Cirrus-specific emergency procedures
  • Begin Instrument Rating instruction following completion of the Private Pilot Certificate
  • Act as pilot-in-command for owner-directed personal and business travel, including day trips and multi-day itineraries with overnights
  • Structure travel flights as instructional flights wherever practical, so the owner logs applicable dual and cross-country experience
  • Maintain accurate training records, endorsements, and syllabus progress documentation
  • Conduct preflight planning, weather and risk assessment, and go/no-go decision-making
  • Repositioning and maintenance flights as needed
  • Operate the aircraft in accordance with all applicable FARs, the POH/AFM, and the owner's insurance requirements
Qualifications
  • FAA Commercial Pilot Certificate — Airplane Single-Engine Land
  • Instrument Rating — Airplane
  • Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) and Certified Flight Instructor — Instrument (CFII)
  • Current FAA Second-Class Medical Certificate (or higher)
  • Current flight review and instructor certificate; meets all currency and recency requirements
  • 1,000 hours total time
  • 300 hours dual instruction given
  • 75 hours instrument (actual or simulated)
  • 50 hours in Cirrus SR20/SR22 aircraft
  • Valid driver's license, passport, and reliable transportation to KCXO
  • Clean FAA and driving records; no accidents, incidents, or enforcement actions
Final minimums are subject to underwriter approval. We will review individual experience for qualification.
Preferred Experience
  • Cirrus Standardized Instructor Pilot (CSIP) or CTI designation
  • Significant time in the SR22 specifically, and in G2-generation aircraft
  • Avidyne Entegra PFD/MFD proficiency
  • Recent primary instruction experience
  • Experience training aircraft owners in their own high-performance aircraft
  • Familiarity with Houston-area airspace, Gulf Coast weather, and summer density altitude operations
  • Prior Part 91 owner-flown or corporate flight department experience
Schedule & Commitment
  • Contract basis with a target of 2–3 days per week; trips and lessons scheduled in advance where possible, with occasional short-notice requests
  • Mix of local training flights, day trips, and multi-day itineraries with overnights
  • Availability for occasional weekend flying
  • Estimated volume: 20–40 hours per month
