Hey everyone,

Anyone have any info on International Jet out of centennial?

Any info on pay, QOL and company overall ?

Bump.

I see they have a lot of open pilot positions right now. Their Facebook ads say Monday-Friday flying in the King Air with weekends and holidays off.

 

I’ve worked here nearly a year and love it. It’s not for everyone, but it’s a perfect fit for me. King Air pilots are off every weekend and holiday since they fly doctors to underserved cities throughout Colorado. We also fly Lear 34/55/60, Hawker 800, Citation X, Challenger 650/350, Falcon 900, and Gulfstream 650. Let me know what questions you have. Also check out our careers page for pilots on our website. We’re hiring for most aircraft at the moment.

 

Does I Jet have a SIC PDP, or do they fall under the 135.101 exception for no autopilot use for their King Airs? I'm thinking about applying, and am curious about the legality of logging time since this would be my first 135 gig.

 

14 CFR 135.101 isn't an "exception." It's the rule. If operated under IFR, the SIC is always required.

An exception may be made to 135.101, which is 135.105; if approved by the FAA, an operator may use an autopilot in lieu of a SIC, when operating under IFR. This is an exception to the SIC requirement of 135.101: if the operator maintains a SIC training program, the operator can fly without the autopilot, and use the SIC.

Using a SIC isn't a special exception to autopilot use. The FAA doesn't have a program for use of a SIC in lieu of the autopilot. It's the other way around. The SIC is basic required equipment, and an exception may be made, if granted authorization under the company Operations Specifications (OpSpecs--specific rules and authorizations granted to that operator by the FAA) to use an autopilot instead of a SIC. The operator does not need a special authorization to use the SIC instead of the autopilot, because the SIC is already required under the regulation.

If an operator flies single pilot with autopilot and does not have a training program for the SIC, and the autopilot is inoperative, then when it comes to IFR, the airplane can't be flown under IFR. It's important to understand that the second in command is a core requirement for passenger carrying operations under IFR. Autopilot operations are not.

This does not apply to cargo operations.

 

To add a requirement, the PIC also needs a 135.297(g) signoff to operate without an SIC.
A 135 I used to fly for didn't always sign off the 297g part, so those PICs required an SIC even with an autopilot when flying IFR.

 

Anyone have insight to schedules/pay/QOL? Mil aviator whos looking to be transitioning out within the next year.

 

Quality of life is very important to us, so we prioritize it when making schedules. We also do whatever we can to accommodate last-minute requests for things like kids' activities and other life events.

The pay and schedules are different for each airplane. Currently, we operate King Air 90 and 200, Lear 35/55/60, Hawker 800 XP, Challenger 350, Falcon 900, G550, and G650. Some aircraft are managed Part 91 only, and others are a mix of 91/135.

All aircraft positing are based in KAPA and not cummutable. Send me a message if you have more questions, and I'll be happy to jump on a phone call.

 

PM sent! Thanks!
