Hawker Beechcraft Pilot Position
Saw this on our company website. It says AZ but I am pretty sure that is a typo since most DEMO pilots are based in ICT. Good Luck.
Sr Pilot II
Pilots in the sales demonstration department manage the safe and efficient world-wide operation of company aircraft. They make certain that each passenger has a memorably pleasant flight experience, ensuring their safety, security, comfort and convenience. Demonstration Pilots must be flexible problem solvers, always competent in their ability to offer safe solutions to the challenges that arise while completing their mission. The demonstration department is primarily responsible for conducting pilot and executive sales flights, in new and resale aircraft, aimed at showcasing each aircraft model’s particular features and benefits. In addition to sales flights, pilots in the demonstration department conduct a majority of the company’s executive transportation, customer support, pilot support, media and post-maintenance flights. Demonstration Pilots are often tasked to staff air shows, conduct factory tours, attend or lead customer product presentations and complete other tasks as assigned by their Chief Pilot. They have a very high level of interaction with both internal and external customers and are required to be adept communicators who are tactful and comfortable in this environment.
Demonstration Pilots are responsible for coordinating with scheduling and maintenance personnel to ensure aircraft to be flown are airworthy and released for flight. Once an aircraft is released for a specified mission, all tasks associated with the conduct of that mission are the responsibility of the Demonstration Pilot. These tasks include, but are not limited to:
Demonstration Pilots must possess appropriate FAA pilot certificates and be capable of obtaining and/or maintaining a FAA First class medical certificate. Current certificated flight instructors or pilots who have military instructional experience are preferred. Demonstration Pilots must be comfortable and capable of flying both single-pilot and with a second crewmember. Demonstration Pilots must possess a 4-year college degree. They must be willing and able to attend additional company and aircraft training as well as pass FAA and company check-rides when required.
Demonstration pilots are assigned a duty track schedule once per year consisting of a specified number of on days and off days. The track schedule overrides weekends and traditional company holidays that are observed by most company employees. Occasionally it is necessary for pilots to move or give up off days to accommodate schedule demands. Simulator training, air shows and international duty assignments often necessitate this schedule flexibility. Demonstration Pilots will not be scheduled for greater than a 3-week international duty assignment and pilots may only fly 6 out of 7 days. While on duty, pilots are “on-call” and must be ready to respond promptly to phone calls and email messages sent from company personnel and/or customers.
All newly-hired Demonstration Pilots must be willing to relocate to Wichita, KS.
