Any of you work with light twins/singles

[Archer]

If I ever get my Commercial and decide to fly part or full time...I'm probably going to start with light twins or single, piston airplanes.

And I have nothing against them, in fact, I would prefer to fly a Seneca or Arrow any day rather than a Boeing or Airbus...

I was wondering if any of you work in the light airplane industry...

also, part of this thread, I would like to know what types of jobs there are out there for pilots other than corporate bizjet flying, regional or major airlines, or cargo...

and besides bush pilots, slurry bombers...those are all the ones I know off

thanx

Jobs involving light twins

Flight instructing, for one. You can fly Piper and Cessna, and even Beech Bonanzas and Barons to your heart's content as a CFI. FlightSafety in Vero operates a large fleet of Piper Cadets (Warriors), Seminoles and Senecas, and retired its Mooneys in favor of Arrows.

Medical (lifeguard) flights.

Law enforcement.

Government. My first thought there was being the executive pilot for the governor. I knew someone who did that for the governor of Oklahoma. My second thought was flying for the FAA. Along with being a fed, which takes a special kind of person to pull it professionally, flying "flight check," in which you fly techs who are checking and calibrating navaids. Flight check is an excellent job that pays well. Not many flight check pilot jobs are available, though, and those who get them keep them for years. The FAA switched to Kingairs for flight check several years ago; as far as I know they still use Kingairs.

Military. How about getting paid to fly that F-16 you've been admiring? That certainly isn't flying a big Boeing. The military does fly smaller aircraft, such as C-12s, which are Kingairs. The Navy flies smaller turboprops as transports and for ECM and patrols.
