Basair Instructor RatingHey guys,
If anyone has thoughts they are happy to privately share re the Basair Instructor Rating in Brisbane, I'd be interested in hearing them. I'm looking at the FEE HELP option in the new year. Yes i get the financials are horrible, but im in Darwin with my 250hr CV (minus Flight Standards GA Ready course), and im getting nowhere, anywhere.
I wouldn't recommend doing an Instructor Rating if your only motivation for it is because you haven't found a charter job in Darwin / elsewhere in the Top End - which of itself surprises me, because there are a good amount of vacant pilot positions & as a CP in the region, at the moment I'm seeing less & less pilots "doing the rounds" dropping off resumes...
Doing an Instructor Rating should be borne of a genuine motivation to contribute positively to the development of trainee pilots, rather than looking for a "fall back" VET FEE solution for a "cookie cutter" course which will likely only worsen your situation. Maybe you should take a look at your current strategy for finding a pilot job in the NT & change something if what you're doing isn't working.
Not all operators require / desire the Flight Standards GA course.
