Location: Topeka, KS (KFOE)
Job Type: Full-time, Not Commutable
Operation: Part 91
Reports to: Chief Pilot and Director of Operations (as needed)
This is not a checklist role. It’s a left-seat career.
At Vaerus Aviation, we’re looking for a Pilot in Command who values judgment, preparation, and professionalism, and wants an operation that respects all three.
If you’re an experienced PIC who believes the quality of the operation determines the quality of your life, this may be the role you’ve been looking for.
What This Role Actually Feels Like
You’ll fly well-maintained business aircraft with realistic planning, clear communication, and a team that understands aviation from the cockpit outward.
You won’t be rushed into poor decisions.
You won’t be second-guessed after good ones.
You won’t be treated like a seat-filler.
You’ll be trusted to command the aircraft and the mission.
Aircraft & Mission Profile
Our operation includes a mix of jet and turboprop flying, supporting a variety of business and personal travel missions.
What We Value in a PIC
This role is a strong fit for pilots who:
Prepare thoroughly and think ahead
Communicate clearly and calmly
Respect SOPs while exercising sound judgment
Value professionalism over heroics
Care about building a sustainable flying career
If you’re chasing flight hours or a fast upgrade, this likely isn’t the right seat.
If you’re building a career, it might be.
The Vaerus Operating Environment
We’ve built Vaerus Aviation intentionally:
Maintenance culture focused on reliability and transparency
Leadership that respects PIC authority
Planning that reduces chaos, not creates it
A culture that supports longevity, not burnout
Our pilots stay because the operation makes sense.
Minimum Qualifications Include
Hold a Commercial Pilot Certificate with Single-Engine and Instrument Ratings
Minimum 1,500 hours total flight time
Turbine Experience Required
Pilatus PC-12 Experience Preferred
Possess a Second Class FAA Medical Certificate or higher
Possess a US Passport and driver’s license
FCC Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit
Experience in corporate aircraft demonstrates the adaptability, systems knowledge, and operational judgment we value. If you bring most - but not all - of this experience, we’re still open to the conversation.
Confidential by Design
We understand that experienced PICs don’t job hunt loudly. If you’re curious but discreet, every inquiry is handled privately and professionally.
→ Start a confidential pilot-to-pilot conversation
No recruiters.
No automated systems.
Just a direct discussion with people who understand the left seat.
