About the Position

We are looking for a professional, safety-focused Checkout Pilot / Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) to support our aviation operations at Hayward Executive Airport (HWD).

Conduct aircraft checkout flights for pilots
Evaluate pilot proficiency, judgment, aircraft handling, and operational knowledge
Conduct pre-flight and post-flight briefings
