The job posting to look for is “Investigative Specialist - Aerial”. It’s GS 11/12 position and the hour requirements posted earlier are accurate as the mins. Most field offices these days are Cessna 206 but you could get lucky and get one that has a Caravan. Buddy had no idea how easy it is to transition to other bases. Apparently some guys love it because you only have to focus on flying and don’t have any agent responsibility. Others get frustrated though because they make less than the agent pilots for doing almost the same job. The agent pilots have earned their way into the pilot community by doing at least one assignment on the ground and they get extra pay and benefits for being badged officers. My buddy wasn’t sure if the non-agent pilots can move into some of the larger aircraft the FBI does have. His guess is maybe, but it must be tough considering the amount of guys who end up moving on from the job. Maybe one of the previous posters in the know can answer that? Still seems like a cool gig and I am definitely going to keep my eye out for postings. |
Reach out to MadMax72 who recently posted.
He spent time as a contract pilot and probably still had contacts. I'm sure he would be a good source of information for anyone interested in the job. |

There aren’t any openings right now I believe. I’ve been talking with my FBI agent buddy about it.

They must only have aircraft in a limited amounts of areas, I say that because I have flown many of missions for the FBI where I'm at. In fact my branch has an old C206 FBI hand me down aircraft. I'd be curious to see what locations open up for this in the future, but I cant take it as I'm getting to close to punching out. I'm just anxious to end this chapter of my working life and hopefully earn a pure pilot job after retirement.

I could have joined the FBI...
But they found out my parents were married. |
