well, i'll put my two pence worth in. probably all i can afford.
it does depend whether your full time or part time.
full time instructor will earn about £12 per hour and have a £400 a month basic. this hourly rate increases to £15 for night and imc training, and only £10 per hour when restricted.
part time instructors earn £15 per hour and have no basic pay.
so, a full time instructor doing about 800hrs a year will get about 14 grand before the taxman takes his pound of flesh. i find as a single bloke this is just about enough to keep me in aqua vitae, but married with kids! all i can say is good luck.
i've blathered to many instructors from other schools, this seems about the norm. however, some schools include a 'non flying day' as part of the terms and conditions where you have to man the desk/radio (or even clean the bogs
) and obviously get naff all flight pay for that day. i also find that most schools don't pay instructors for breifings and it sometimes the ground school is giving for free (although the students tend to supply the beer in the club bar afterwards).
