What is the split?
Interesting discussion! I am a recently qualified PPL and really didn't realise what my instructors were getting paid until reading this.
I do know that all my instructors have been good and enthusiastic and full marks to them for dedication in light of the poor financial return.
The question I am pondering now is what is the split out of the £146/hr I pay for instruction in a PA28?
Instructor £15- £20 per hour maybe.
Fuel, well 33 litres at maybe £1 per litre?
Aircraft maintainence, parking and landing fees.
VAT.
School office overheads. Salary for two office staff and CFI
I don't think great profits are being made by anyone running or working for a PPL flying school.
Am I right?
