Pilot Gigs
Owners, operators and flight departments post flying work on AirplaneGigs: deliveries, trips that need a captain or first officer, and students looking for an instructor.
Each job asks for the ratings and experience it needs, so you see work you can actually take.

Common Questions
- How do I find pilot gigs near me?
- Sign up with the work you do, your ratings and the aircraft you fly or work on, and set your home airport and how far you’ll travel. New jobs that match you show up in Find Work and can be sent to you as alerts. Apply to the ones you want and agree the rate with whoever posted it.
- Do I need a commercial certificate?
- To be paid to fly, yes. Each job shows the certificate and ratings it asks for. Private pilots can share the cost of time-building flights with other pilots, which isn’t paid work.
- Can I take a break from new offers?
- Your profile has an Accepting Work switch. Turn it off when you’re busy and you won’t be matched or sent new offers until you turn it back on.
