How much do citation part 91 jobs pay per year?

As of Sep 9, 2026, the average yearly pay for citation part 91 in the United States is $100,249.00, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $90,000.00 and $112,000.00 per year, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What is a Citation Part 91 pilot?

Citation Part 91 pilots are aviators who operate Cessna Citation jets under Part 91 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs). Part 91 covers general operating and flight rules for non-commercial flight operations, such as private, corporate, or owner-flown flights. These pilots are responsible for planning, operating, and ensuring compliance with safety and regulatory requirements during flights. Unlike commercial operators, they generally do not carry passengers or cargo for hire under Part 91 rules.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Citation Part 91 pilot?

To thrive as a Citation Part 91 Pilot, you need an FAA commercial or ATP pilot’s license, type rating for the Citation aircraft, and strong knowledge of FAA regulations and flight operations. Familiarity with avionics systems, flight management systems (FMS), and weather-planning tools is typically required, along with recurrent training certifications. Excellent decision-making, situational awareness, and strong communication skills are crucial for handling dynamic flight conditions and coordinating with passengers or flight departments. These skills ensure safe, efficient, and compliant operation of the aircraft in diverse and often unsupervised flying environments.

What are some common challenges faced by pilots operating Citation jets under Part 91 regulations?

Pilots flying Citation jets under Part 91 often face challenges such as managing diverse flight schedules, adapting to quickly changing weather conditions, and maintaining proficiency with advanced avionics systems. Since Part 91 operations are typically for private or corporate use, pilots may be responsible for a wider range of tasks, including flight planning, passenger coordination, and aircraft maintenance oversight. Additionally, the flexible nature of Part 91 can mean less routine and more last-minute changes, requiring adaptability and strong organizational skills.

What is the difference between Citation Part 91 vs Flight Instructor?

AspectCitation Part 91

Both Citation Part 91 pilots and Flight Instructors require commercial pilot certificates, with additional ratings for specific aircraft. Citation Part 91 pilots operate under FAR Part 91 regulations, primarily for private or corporate flights, often in a corporate or charter environment. Flight Instructors, on the other hand, are certified to teach student pilots and operate under FAR Part 61 or 141, focusing on training in flight schools. While both roles involve flying, Citation Part 91 pilots focus on operational flying, whereas Flight Instructors focus on training and education.

Job description

We are seeking an experienced, professional, and highly motivated full-time pilot to join our team and operate our Citation CJ4. This is a single-pilot operation with an emphasis on safety, professionalism, and exceptional service to our principals. This is an exclusive Part 91 position supporting two principals and their families. We are seeking a long-term aviation professional who will manage every aspect of the aircraft and provide first-class ownership experience.

Flying is divided approximately between business and personal travel:

  • 65% business-related travel
  • 35% personal/leisure travel
Essential Functions:

Our operating philosophy is that safety always takes precedence over schedule and that the pilot has full authority to delay, divert, or cancel flights when safety dictates and is encouraged and fully supported in recommending the use of a second pilot whenever, in their professional judgement, it enhances safety. The pilot will serve as the primary point of contact for all flight operations and aircraft management. Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

Flight Operations
  • Conduct all flights in a safe, legal, and professional manner under FAR Part 91
  • Plan and file all flight plans, weather analysis, NOTAMs, and route planning
  • Serve as Pilot-in-Command (PIC) for all CJ4 operations
  • Ensure aircraft is ready, fueled, and configured prior to each departure
Aircraft/Hanger Management
  • Oversee all scheduled and unscheduled maintenance in coordination with a maintenance provider
  • Manage aircraft squawks, logbooks, and airworthiness documentation
  • Coordinate and track annual inspections, avionics updates, and AD compliance
  • Manage hangar arrangements, FBO relationships, and ground handling at home base and destinations
  • Manage maintenance budgeting, vendor relationships, Textron Service Center coordination, database subscriptions, aircraft value preservation, and continuous improvement
  • Maintain aircraft interior cleanliness and ensure the cabin is properly stocked with supplies, refreshments, and amenities prior to each flight
  • Maintain hanger for cleanliness
Passenger Logistics & Concierge
  • Coordinate all aspects of travel for principals and their guests: ground transportation, rental cars, hotels, and special requests
  • Calendar management to reserve flights
  • Serve as the primary liaison between owners and trip logistics providers
  • Provide a first-class experience from departure to arrival — attention to detail matters
  • Anticipate needs, communicate proactively, and handle issues quietly and efficiently

The above statements are intended to describe the general nature and level of work being performed and not an exhaustive list of all responsibilities, duties, and skills required. May perform other duties as assigned.

Schedule & Availability

This is a full-time salaried position. Our owners value work-life balance and strive to provide reasonable and predictable scheduling. Trip schedules are typically communicated:

  • 1-4 weeks in advance for planned trips

While some last-minute trips will arise in the nature of private aviation, our owners are conscientious about the pilot's time and personal commitments. On-call expectations and blackout dates will be mutually agreed upon during onboarding.

Qualifications:

To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily. The requirements listed below are representative of the knowledge, skill, and ability required. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals to perform the essential functions.

  • Single pilot certification/training
  • FAA ATP Certificate (or Commercial with instrument rating — ATP preferred)
  • Valid First-Class Medical Certificate
  • CJ4 type rating (or willingness to obtain — training available for the right candidate)
  • Minimum total flight time: 3,500 hours (flexible for exceptional candidates)
  • Minimum PIC time: 1,000 hours turbine or jet, single-pilot experience preferred
  • Clean aviation record — no accidents, incidents, or violations
  • Valid U.S. passport
  • Able to pass a background check and drug screening
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Prior experience in single-pilot jet operations
  • Experience as a fractional, charter, or corporate pilot
  • Strong organizational skills and ability to self-manage
  • Proficiency with ForeFlight, Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite, and standard aviation ops software
  • Experience booking travel, hotels, and coordinating passenger logistics
  • Professional attributes- integrity, discretion, ownership mentality, communication skills, hospitality mindset, and attention to detail
What We Offer:
  • Dedicated Part 91 operation
  • No charter flying
  • Well maintained aircraft
  • Annual simulator training
  • Competitive compensation & benefits
  • Long term stability
Work Environment:
  • Performs duties within a compact, dual-pilot flight deck for extended periods.
  • Operates in pressurized cabins at simulated high altitudes with low humidity levels.
  • Wears communication headsets to mitigate constant low-frequency engine noise and radio chatter.
  • Encounters varying atmospheric conditions, including turbulence, glare, and temperature fluctuations.
  • Remains seated for long durations with limited mobility during multi-hour flights.
  • Subject to irregular hours, night shifts, and rapid transitions across multiple time zones.
  • Safely navigates physical vibrations and sudden aircraft movements using multi-point harnesses.
