Meet Our Pilots: A Day in the Life of a Harbour Air Captain
From pre-flight checks to sunset landings on the water, go behind the controls with the pilots who fly Harbour Air's fleet every day.
Every Harbour Air flight starts hours before takeoff. Our pilots begin with a full weather briefing, a walk-around inspection of the aircraft, and a review of the day's routes across the Pacific Northwest.
Flying a floatplane is its own discipline: reading the water for wind and swell, judging a glassy-calm harbour, and making dozens of short water landings in a single shift. No two flights, and no two docks, are ever quite the same.
Beyond the controls, our pilots are often the first and last people our passengers meet on a trip. That mix of technical skill and hospitality is what keeps people coming back to fly with Harbour Air.
