You have your Commercial Pilot Licence, Multi-Engine IFR, and at least 250 hours total time. You’re ready to take the next step and start building real operational experience. This is your opportunity to do exactly that.
SkyCare’s Captain Development Program is a structured pathway from day one to a Captain role on turbine aircraft, with pilots typically reaching this milestone within a few years based on performance and operational needs.
Flying That Matters
At SkyCare, you're part of the mission from day one. From medevac flights supporting remote northern communities to time-critical cargo and specialized charter operations across North America and the Caribbean, every member of our team plays a direct role in making that happen.
