JOURNEYMAN APPLICANTS
The pilot must possess and maintain an FAA second-class medical certificate, commercial pilot certificate, a valid California Journeyman Pest Control Aircraft Pilot certificate, and valid California Driver’s License with a safe driving record.

APPRENTICE PILOT APPLICANTS
Any apprentice pilot hired must possess an FAA second-class medical certificate, commercial pilot certificate, a valid California Apprentice Pest Control Aircraft Pilot certificate (which must be upgraded to a journeyman certificate within two years of the date hired), and a valid California Driver’s License with a safe driving record.
