rates of pay

[memories of px]

as someone else did ask it, i hear 25/hr for ppl and 40 for imc is average? but also that microlight instruction pays well too?

[MrAverage]

If we charged that much extra for IMC training hardly anyone would do it.............

[Airgus]

25 PPL
45 CPL-IR
55 MEP IR

Are more up-to-date rates. Unfortunately I am unaware of UL-ML FI rates.

[Broadlands]

26 for PPL
35 for IMC
45 for FIC

rates last reviewed April 2015 so due an increase

Rumours of £40/hr for microlight...

Personally, Northern UK;
21/hr PPL (school 10 mins away from where I live)
25/hr PPL (1 hour drive)

[n.dave]

I still getting £20/hour without any retainer.

[TheOddOne]

We're £25 per hour for PPL and IMC but that's for a FI with restriction removed. No extra for briefings or de-briefings. Also expected to get a/c out and put it away again, refuel, do billing and other admin etc. No retainer.

TOO

[Procrastinus]

As long as there are 'hours builders', pay rates will remain low

[memories of px]

ok, so thats the pay sorted out, perhaps we can go to the next survey, and the question is, do schools charge qualified instructors for the check ride to work for them?

[Broadlands]

I didn't charge a potential instructor for a quick check ride or the standardisation flight. Don't charge any instructors for standisaton training.
Training to upgrade (night instructor etc) is done for free on the proviso the rating is then used.

[n.dave]

We have to pay our own renewals such as FI and medicals. Buy your own charts, pens, uniforms etc.
Definitely you will need additional job(s) to be a FI.

[S-Works]

We don't charge Instructors to standardise.
