• Comfortable building relationships over months/years, not days
• Humble enough to bring in technical experts when needed
• Professional presence appropriate for client-facing interactions at all organizational levels

Why Wichita?

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
