Industry impact
Dual-type Part 91 captain postings show management operators covering multiple large-cabin aircraft with one crew pool, tightening competition for pilots who already hold both type ratings.
What happened
Solairus Aviation is recruiting a full-time Captain to operate both the Gulfstream G650 and Falcon 900EX EASy aircraft under a Part 91 operation based at KMHR airport in Sacramento, California. The position was posted on 22 August 2026.
The role requires a minimum of 3,000 total flight hours, 1,500 hours as pilot-in-command, 1,500 hours multi-engine land, 500 hours multi-engine land as pilot-in-command, 500 hours in turbojet aircraft, and 250 instrument hours. Applicants must hold a type rating on the Gulfstream G650, the Falcon 900EX EASy, or a comparable aircraft, and must possess a first-class medical certificate. The Captain will be responsible for the safe operation of both aircraft, pre-flight inspections, weather and route checks, compliance with Solairus Aviation policies and applicable Federal Aviation Regulations, and accurate completion of trip paperwork.
The position requires availability on an on-call basis and completion of ICAO international procedures training annually. Candidates must reside within a two-hour drive of KMHR or be willing to relocate. Solairus Aviation states crew member compensation ranges from $50,000 to $500,000, varying by geographic area, experience, aircraft type, job duties, training, and assigned account. The company is headquartered in California's Wine Country and operates nationwide.
Industry impact & what to watch
A single captain qualified on both the G650 and the Falcon 900EX EASy lets a Part 91 management operator flex one crew member across two distinct large-cabin types rather than staffing each aircraft separately, which is how owner-operated fleets stretch pilot headcount when hours and experience thresholds like these are hard to source.
The wide compensation band, from $50,000 to $500,000, reflects how management-company pay is built around geography, account assignment and aircraft type rather than a flat scale, so the posted range says little about what any single hire will actually earn. The on-call requirement and annual ICAO international procedures training point to a role that mixes domestic and international trip coverage rather than a fixed schedule.
Whether Solairus fills the seat internally through an existing G650 or Falcon captain or hires externally will show whether qualified dual-type pilots are scarce enough to require external recruitment at this base.
Who this affects
- Aircraft Management Companies — Filling a dual-type Part 91 captain seat at this experience level takes time and can delay owner scheduling until the position is staffed.
- Pilot Training Organizations (PTO) — A Part 91 posting requiring both G650 and Falcon 900EX EASy type ratings plus annual international-procedures training signals steady demand for large-cabin type-rating courses.
