What is a Private Jet Pilot?
Private Jet Pilot Job Description
A private jet pilot is responsible for transporting his or her client, as well as their family and friends, to the locations of their choice. The pilot is expected to hold the appropriate, valid flying license, and to be able to fly safely in most weather conditions. They are also charged with evaluating risk and advising on the health and safety of his passengers prior to flying.
A private jet is generally manned by at least two pilots: the captain and co pilot, who take turns flying to avoid dangers relating to fatigue, illness and injury.
At any one time, the pilot not currently flying is responsible for flight/air control and ground communications.
Prior to take-off, pilots are required to thoroughly plot and evaluate the flight plan, equipment and fuel. They are also responsible for checking appropriate weather forecasts, and informing the cabin crew and passengers of potential changes.
