Job description

Job Description
XSTAR Aviation is seeking experienced multiengine flight instructors to help build the next generation of Air Force aviators. This role supports a unique and rewarding mission focused on developing airmanship, increasing repetition, and enhancing overall flying proficiency within the bomber aircrew community.
In this role, CFIs will fly multiple times each week, deliver ground-based instruction, and provide focused, high-quality training to military aircrew.
This is an in-person, non-commuter position. Pilots must live, or be willing to relocate, within 30 minutes of Abilene, TX. The schedule is Monday through Friday each week and does not follow a traditional airline or rotational pilot schedule.
This position operates under FAA Part 91 and requires sound aeronautical judgment, strong crew coordination, and the ability to safely execute operations in a fast-paced environment. Pilots will work closely with program leadership, operations support personnel, and maintenance teams to ensure safe, efficient, and reliable daily operations.
In addition to flight operations, pilots will deliver ground-based instruction focused on the differences between FAA and USAF operating procedures, airspace, and regulatory frameworks to support pilot understanding and transition between environments.
Each pilot will also be assigned a ground duty aligned with site operations (e.g., safety, training coordination, or program administration). These responsibilities are integrated into standard duties and support overall program execution. The organizational structure and expectations are similar to a military flying unit.
Essential Functions

  • Execute proficiency-focused flight profiles designed to enhance airmanship, repetition, and overall pilot performance.
  • Deliver ground-based instruction on FAA and USAF procedural, regulatory, and airspace differences to support pilot understanding and operational integration.
  • Maintain a high standard of aeronautical decision-making, risk management, and crew coordination in all phases of flight.
  • Collaborate with operations support personnel, maintenance teams, and program leadership to ensure effective daily flight execution.
  • Perform assigned ground duty roles (e.g., safety, training coordination, or program administration) in support of site operations.
  • Participate in safety programs, reporting processes, and continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Maintain accurate and timely flight, training, and administrative records.
  • Support operational planning, scheduling coordination, and program meetings as required.
  • Represent XSTAR Aviation professionally in interactions with military personnel, government stakeholders, and industry partners.
