What is a corporate pilot
dwi     Reply with quote
Generally, someone who flies for a corporation or a business instead of, say, an airline or a charter. Many of the large corporations in the world have their own private airplanes. ''Corporate pilots'' fly them.

This can be a very lucrative job if you can get the right one. It could also be a difficult job if the company requires you to be on call all the time.

A Corporate Pilot usually refers to a pilot that works for & flys an airplane owned or operated by a corporation or business.

Corporations for example like: American Express, Time Warner, 3M, etc have their own aircraft to fly company executives around the Country & the World. The pilots who fly these r employeed by their respective companies (hence ''Corporate Pilot'') to fly those aircraft.

Also pilot who work for charter companies (aircraft for hire) r referred to Corporate Pilots because of the airplanes they fly. This is not as true a defination as above & the reference to Corporate Pilot comes mostly because they fly what is reffered to in the Aviation Industry as a Corporate Aircraft.

Example of a few of the bigger Corporate Aircraft (there r more)

Gulfstream
Bombardier (who owns: Lear, Challenger, Global Express)
Hawker
Cessna
