A Day in the Life of a Corporate Pilot: Flying the Citation CJ4 | Full Day | Home by 2p

If you don’t mind me asking at hours were you able to make the push into corporate? I’m really curious. Right now I’m in the medical field and working on my PPL so I’m slowly getting all my ratings to make a career change into aviation. I would love to be home every night or must nights during the week so I’ve just been looking for operations that allow a pilot to have that opportunity

Absolutely love “day in the life” videos. Great job putting this together and yes, early start time, early end time for you. I’m also glad to see many folks going into corporate aviation vs airlines (not knocking the latter), gives more options like freight and municipal too. 
I fly both helicopters and SEL - as a hobby. 
PS - you have a beautiful home, and that kitchen is gorgeous!!

Great job Katie!

Maam you have cool intense job.

👋🏻KSRQ☀️🌴🇺🇸🛩️

imagine training to be a pilot only to get pregnant and quit flying that will be you guarantee if not you will be in your mid 30s depressed because you have no kids

Awesome summary. I'm hoping when I retire from oil & gas I can get typed in the Citation and fly part time. Your video is inspiring.

Got my ppl check ride coming up! Super stoked!🤙🏽

Can you log hours if you are not rated?

I'm the weird one that liked the captions while flying😂 Some of the words we wrong but I understood it. As a student pilot, I'm still nervous about all of the tower talk and want to learn to understand all things

It’s my belief these clickbait titles for aviation should be dropped. It’s misleading and give the public an unrealistic headline of aviation.

As a pilot you are still working full time doing planning, staying healthy, and still learning

Can you give more info on your time as a CFI-S? Like as far as dual time given, and the differences between it and CFI-A? I think this is the only way I'm going to be able to build time. I watched the video with Trent and your other videos as well. For what it's worth, I'm an engineer with a job I love and I am going through my PPL right now. It's going to take a unicorn pilot job for me to leave my current one especially since I WFH and have four day work weeks.

Honey in coffee? Hummmm. I put it in tea... guess I'll have to try that. I'm currently working on my commercial.

What sea salt do you use again?

u ever know watch Nancy Bradshaw was ut great vids.. chopper pilot then Corp then pt 121 regional.. lots great vids inform info .. but seems she gone now off ut.. she was Excellent help inspire. u know of her?

or do get a strt salary ?

No constructive feedback to give, just wanted to say thank you for sharing

what type of hours can you log flying right seat in a jet you are not typed for? I possibly have an opportunity like this available. thanks

Hi Kaity! Are you planning to switching to Part 121 airline? Or just staying in part 135 corporate forever? Do you recommend flying part 135 as a permanent job?
Thank you for sharing great video! I enjoyed watching your daily life!

I used to fly a 200 and C90 into Williston all the time. The people at Overland are very nice and friendly.

What a dream job you have. Thanks for sharing.

Did you get a new job?

You are the first I've heard to take 2 brazil nut each day. So glad someone else besides me knows about it. :) You're my people! Subscribed.

How do you like the CJ4? The mountains going into PANC are amazing, wish I flew over them in daylight more often. Happy Tuesday from a super hot and humid Hong Kong, where it feels like 102F at 8:30 in the morning.

Was wondering if you do any back country flying…..grass strips, etc? Also interested in affordable airplanes. Show people that aviation is accessible for working class people….anyone can fly….etc

I really enjoy day in the life of and behind the scenes videos, as well as the flights and explanations. I am 70 and haven't actually flown in 40 years (low time private pilot-often wish I had chosen aviation) but have enjoyed following aviation again since covid. Being an anesthesiologist, many studies have been done(in anesthesia) about the work environment, work flow, multitasking of both our professions being similar..critical moments of going to sleep (taking off) and waking up (landing). Also, constant multitasking and staying 5 -10 steps ahead of everything. So, I enjoy watching pilots do these things well and you do them well. Thanks for taking the time to shares these things and it will be fun when you get your additional GoPro. I am also a dog person, am gardening, want chickens and like seeing how you and husband tackle all these things in the day of life. Thanks and please keep them coming when you can.

I got to second about the subtitles they drove me nuts couldn’t keep up, Maybe it’s my age.😂😂

Do you have to clean or empty the LAV after the flights or does FBO take care of that part?

Another great video. I really like the segment in which you work as opposed to commercial You might look into the Contigo line of cups and tumblers. I have a no spill one you can actually lay it on its side. It’s pretty tall and skinny and fits in almost any cup holder.
I’m trying to talk my 13 year old granddaughter into getting interested in aviation. I sort of grew up in a float plane as a babysitter in rural Maine but for some reason never thought about it as a career. Partly because I’m built like a linebacker and grew up in the commercial fishing industry. But at 56 I’d love to learn to fly

Do you ever feel pressured to fly if weather or something is bad?

Good luck on the new type, hope you crush the training for it!

Kaity your editing has really improved in the last few videos and will only continue to get better, your employer seems to be great with understanding balance keeps employees longer and happier, similar to my employer it’s great. Keep up the good work and bringing us along when you can.

You have a wonderful, easy going channel! Love your content. And the dogs! Ha.

Fine jet!

Enjoyed the video.

Kaity, you have my dream job. Most everyone I am training with or talk to about aviation always talks about making it in the airlines. I simply want a job as pilot that pays ok and I can be home with my family every day or most days. Congrats on everything you’ve accomplished

Fun to see the snippets of your life. I would've liked to see more of the flying, at least take-off and landing.

I take it you're paid a salary, not by flight hour.

I like your Garmin watch face! 😊 Which watch face is it?

Awesome vlog!

What was that drawing on your frig door ?
I'd take that down because it looks.......😱

single pilot?

2 Brazil nuts for selenium! Wow, digging deep!

What a great lady you are, all the best from the UK

Loving the videos! Glad Justice is OK, German Shepherds have the quirkiest personality. I cannot tell you how many tree's my dad planted and our pup dug up LOL You definitely got me missing the PNW! I lived up there for 5 years and my hubs keeps talking about going back but to Idaho this time. We almost bought a place in Boise back in like 2015 and are kicking ourselves for not going through with it!

is there a sink in your plane?

Love ur videos

Amazing content! Keep up the great work. I am currently a student pilot and videos like these inspire me to continue to work hard. 🙌🏻

Nice insight! Glad you are able to do what you really want for a living.
