Pilot salary
Hello there, experienced corporate pilots / managers! Is anyone able to tell me what a reasonable pay in central Europe for the following activities should be? You know, when you land a flying job you tend not to be too greedy as long as you can finally fly, and I am afraid I could ask more:
One airplane corporate operation, averaging 200 hrs/year:
- Organize handling, flight plans, and then fly a C501
- Keep logs updated, keep track of maintenance schedules / update Cesscom
- Search the market for best prices regarding maintenance/ parts/consumables
- Keep contracts / update Jeppesen and other services
Thanks for your help

Assuming you are the Captain, and managing the whole operation, then you could be 70 to 100,000 euro annually, based on captains pay plus management fee. Possibly towards the lower end of that with 200 hrs utilisation.

A little inflated?
Good grief! 100,000 Euro for flying a Citation 1? I don't think so Klatsch - certainly not on my planet! Even as Chief Pilot with many other responsibilities that is over the top, by as much as a factor of 2...
If you are any good then you should be able to command 100,000 euros. Much less and you are under selling yourself.
However you are only ever worth what the owner is prepared to pay. If you ask too much and he does not proceed with the project then you will have nothing.
