Airplane Pilot
Closing: 9/30/2022

Job Description:
This position is that of an Utah Department of Agriculture and Food Airplane Pilot. The primary purpose of this position is concerned with the pilot duties and responsibilities in support of UDAF/WS operations to protect livestock and wildlife resources from predatory animal damage. Assignments involve flying aircraft over unfavorable terrain. A very high degree of skill is required because of flight procedures, maneuvering and environmental factors. The incumbent must be able to navigate visually to mission area in remote areas by use of terrain features rather than standard or typical navigations equipment. The incumbent must have the ability to maintain visual contact with target animals while avoiding ground structures or terrain features. The incumbent is required to fly very precise patterns, close to the surface and at slow air speeds. Assignments or mission requirements may be further complicated by performance of a number of tasks requiring precise timing and execution. Other situations typical of this position, such as firearm usage, may result from constant diversions or division of attention from flying the aircraft and require immediate response on the part of the pilot to take immediate corrective action to avert an incident. Typical missions are flown during daylight hours under visual conditions with extreme variances of temperature, wind conditions, high density altitudes, and over unfavorable terrain, e.g., mountains, forest, or deserts with responsibility for operating from confined or isolated areas.
