What is a part time chief pilot?

A Part Time Chief Pilot is responsible for overseeing flight operations, training, and regulatory compliance for an aviation organization, but works on a reduced or flexible schedule rather than full-time hours. They ensure pilots follow safety protocols, maintain proper certifications, and coordinate with aviation authorities. This role is common in smaller flight departments, charter companies, or organizations with limited flight operations, where a full-time chief pilot is not needed. Part Time Chief Pilots must still meet all regulatory and experience requirements set by aviation authorities such as the FAA.
