Chief Pilot / Airplane (72600)

We are currently looking for an experienced Chief Pilot in Yukon to join us as a permanent key contributor. We fly a turbocharged Helio Courier H295 and a Pilatus PC-6, both on wheel-skis in the South-west corner of the Yukon. This is the largest non-polar icecap in the world. Our landing sites are between 6000’ and 10,500 feet. Most of our traffic is flying to the Icefield Discovery Camp at 8,500’ and flight seeing trips to Mt. Logan. To see some photos of where we fly, have a look at our website www.icefielddiscovery.com. The clients are mountaineers, skiers, scientists, and tourists.
The successful pilot would have a minimum of 2000 hours, the majority of which would be PIC in mountain flying environments, and experience with ski operations. Experience with turbos, geared prop, turbine, and tail dragger configurations is required. Specific experience flying a Helio Courier and a PC-6 would be desirable.
Our operations base is at Kluane Lake, where we have 2 hangars and basic staff accommodation. The living area is shared by all staff. The location is fairly remote, with the closest town being Haines Junction, 65 km away, and the closest international airport in Whitehorse, Yukon, 210 km away.
