The corporate aviation enterprise I chose to describe is that of Air Royale International. This company is an On-Demand air charter, flying Lear Jets to Gulf Streams to 747’s. Their database tracks more than 5,500 aircraft worldwide. They have turbo-props available in the King Air 200 and 350 models, Light jets in the Lear Jet 31,35, and 45, Citation II and V, and the hawker 400 XP. Midsize jets also include larger Hawker, citation, Lear jet and Falcon models. Their heavy jets include larger gulfstream, Global Express, Falcon, and Challenger models. Executive airliners are also available.
From what I found Air Royale employs a range of between 100-250 employees, but I found little information on how they are divided. This number seems to be more closely related to administrative employees, seeing as how an international company with this many aircraft should include many more regarding flight crews and maintenance. Air Royale features current clients such as Paramount Pictures, CNN, and Warner Records and operate on an FAA Part 135 Certificate.

Broad standards are listed for pilots on the website and include; requirement of attendance to Flight Safety International, Simulator qualifications, and requirement of a pilot in Command Qualification. Each pilot has passed an EKG, drug and alcohol tests, which is subject to random testing. Additionally, each pilot holds an FAA first class medical certificate, renewed every six months, from a doctor approved by the FAA. Each network air carrier has an in-house maintenance program with technicians who’ve completed approved factory training and operate under an FAA issued repair station license.
A corporate aviation pilots schedule can be pretty unpredictable. Many companies such as this one offer on demand services and they need to be ready to go at a moment’s notice. Some information found during a job shadow at http://www.jobshadow.com/interview-with-a-corporate-pilot/ state working approximately 50 hrs. per week involving 15 in the air, making an approximate salary of $95,000 annually.
