How it works
FlyTo1500 continuously tracks low-hour pilot jobs across flight schools, drop zones, aerial survey/pipeline patrol, banner towing, and Part 135 cargo. The checker compares your total time against each listing's minimum-hours requirement and the certificates it asks for — the same matching our subscribers see on every job. Counts are a directional estimate; the exact requirements live on each listing.
Not sure what you need next? The R-ATP calculator shows your path to the ATP, and our guide to the best hour-building jobs covers where those hours come from.
Frequently asked questions
How many pilot jobs can I get with my hours?+
It depends on your total time and which certificates and ratings you hold. Enter them above and the checker counts how many of our tracked low-time listings you qualify for right now, plus how many open up within 250 hours.
How many hours do you need for entry-level pilot jobs?+
Many first jobs — flight instructing, flying skydivers, banner towing, some aerial survey — hire commercial pilots in the 200–500 hour range, though minimums vary by employer, aircraft, and insurance. The checker reflects the actual minimums on current listings.
Does this show real job listings?+
The counts come from FlyTo1500's live, tracked listings. To see the actual jobs — with pay, requirements, and apply links — you'll need a subscription; the checker itself is free.
How is 'qualify' determined?+
We compare your total flight time against each listing's minimum-hours requirement and check that you hold the certificates and ratings it asks for. It's the same logic our subscribers' qualification badges use.
Is the qualification checker free?+
Yes. Checking how many jobs you qualify for is completely free and requires no account. A subscription unlocks the listings themselves and job alerts when new matches appear.
