A contract pilot is an aviation professional who operates helicopters, charter planes, or another aircraft on a per-job basis. As a contract pilot, you work directly with corporate or individual clients to fly an aircraft between locations and transport passengers or cargo. Your contract may be for a single trip or multiple trips. However, you operate as an independent contractor, so you are responsible for maintaining your credentials and insurance. Working as a contract pilot provides you with greater flexibility than being a pilot for an airline or the military.
| Aspect | Contract Pilot | Commercial Pilot |
|---|---|---|
| Certifications | Commercial Pilot Certificate, possibly additional type ratings | Commercial Pilot Certificate, multi-engine ratings often required |
| Work Environment | Hired on a temporary basis for specific contracts, often freelance | Employed by airlines, charter companies, or corporate operators |
| Employer & Industry Usage | Contract basis across various operators, including private and cargo | Full-time or part-time employment within commercial aviation |
Contract pilots typically hold a commercial pilot certificate and work on a temporary or project basis, often flying for multiple operators. Commercial pilots are usually employed full-time by airlines or companies, with a focus on scheduled or charter flights. The main difference lies in employment type and job stability, with contract pilots offering flexibility and diverse opportunities, while commercial pilots often have more consistent employment within the commercial aviation industry.
