Overview
Kirkhope Aviation is continually seeking Touring Pilots for its Melbourne-based charter and air-tour operation. The company flies single-pilot IFR missions and therefore requires candidates to arrive with meaningful aeroplane, instrument, and relevant aircraft experience. The vacancy also values prior hospitality or tour-guiding work, reflecting the customer-facing nature of its itineraries. Applicants must already possess unrestricted Australian work rights because overseas sponsorship is unavailable. The published aircraft experience may be gained on the PA-31, Cessna 208, or King Air 200. Qualified pilots apply directly with a concise résumé and cover letter, while candidates below the listed thresholds are asked not to apply.

- Operate charter and touring missions within the company's single-pilot IFR environment.
