To thrive as a Part 135 Pilot, you need advanced piloting skills, a valid commercial pilot certificate with appropriate ratings, and substantial flight hours in relevant aircraft. Familiarity with aircraft-specific avionics, flight management systems, and regulatory requirements—including FAR Part 135—is essential. Excellent situational awareness, clear communication, and sound decision-making under pressure are crucial soft skills. These competencies are vital for ensuring passenger safety, regulatory compliance, and effective operation in diverse flying environments.

What are typical schedules and work environments like for Part 135 pilots?

Part 135 Pilots often work variable schedules that can include nights, weekends, and on-call periods, since flights are frequently chartered or require flexibility to meet client demands. The work environment ranges from busy regional airports to smaller private airstrips, and pilots may operate in a variety of weather and operational conditions. Pilots typically work closely with dispatchers, mechanics, and customers to ensure safe and timely flights, and may sometimes be responsible for light administrative or customer service tasks. Strong teamwork and adaptability are valued in these dynamic and sometimes changing settings.

Is being a Part 135 Pilot a good career?

A Part 135 Pilot operates on-demand charter and air taxi flights, often requiring specific certifications such as a commercial pilot license and additional type ratings. The career offers opportunities for flying various aircraft, flexible schedules, and potential for advancement, but it can involve irregular hours and variable income. Overall, it can be a rewarding career for those interested in diverse flying experiences and working in the aviation industry.

Job description

Description
Air New England is seeking an experienced professional pilot to join our team as an Assistant Director of Operations and Part 135 Pilot.

The successful candidate will work closely with the Director/Assistant Director of Operations, President, Vice President, Chief Pilot, Charter Department, and other company leadership in managing the day-to-day operation of the company.
For the right individual, this position offers the potential to develop into the company's Director of Operations position.
What We're Looking For
First and foremost, we are looking for a leader.
The successful candidate should be someone our pilots can approach, respect, and rely upon, while also being comfortable working with charter personnel, company management, customers, the FAA, and meets the requirements of 14 CFR §119.71.

  • Sound judgment
  • Attention to detail
  • Regulatory knowledge
  • Willingness to address operational issues before they become problems
Responsibilities
Responsibilities will include a combination of flying and operational management duties, including:
  • Serve as a Part 135 pilot in company aircraft
  • Assisting with day-to-day flight operations and operational control
  • Provide leadership and support to the company's pilot group
  • Working closely with the Vice President and Charter Department to coordinate daily operations
  • Assist in resolving scheduling, crew, aircraft, weather, maintenance, and other operational issues
  • Promoting consistent compliance with company procedures, Operations Specifications, and applicable FAA regulations
  • Assisting with FAA correspondence, inspections, surveillance, and certificate-management matters
  • Review operational practices and identify areas where procedures can be improved
  • Take primary responsibility for revising and maintaining company manuals, including the General Operations Manual, Training Manual, and related policies and procedures, with assistance from the Assistant Director of Operations
  • Supporting pilot training, standardization, and communication
  • Participating in the continued development of the company's safety and compliance culture

Benefits
  • 8 paid holidays
  • Anthem Medical (Includes Vision)
  • HSA
  • 401K after 90 days of employment
  • $15,000 company paid life insurance
  • Company paid short-term disability coverage
  • 80 hours paid vacation (accrued weekly at 1.53 hours per week)
