Hi Team, especially any 40yo+ Aussie instructors on the forum
Quick background before moving onto the query;
1. I am 45 years old with family, pre-teens. No debts and available cash to fund a career change.
2. For the last 20 years I have spent most of my time instructing within military and policing organisations. Broad spectrum of subjects both theory and practical.
3. I have an intense love for aviation
and have had the bug my whole life. I obtained my RPL, or then known as GFPT, back in 2003 but have not been in a position to fly at all in the last 20 years.
Question: Basically, I want to align my 2 passions being flying and teaching as a career change. Firstly, expectation management, am I too old for this to be a reality? Secondly, if so, what would be an ideal training flow for this to happen (Starting from zero hours). Ideally I would like to remain on the Australian east coast and eventually work my way up into more complex instruction ie MECIR
Thanks in advance for any assistance
