Cool

All the training at the moment is in Schweizer/Hughs 300's (2xC, 1xCB), there is some turbine going in an H500, but that is the bosses toy exclusively...
On a good week each instructor would do about 10 hrs and by the end of the month do between 40-50 hrs, sometimes more, sometimes alot less.As far as the billing of students goes, they are charged for the machine only, briefings and "Q&A" time is not included.

We are subcontractors to a university based course also; but that's a whole different story.Flight training for tertiary institutions is becoming the norm in this neck of the woods I think; with flight training operators clambering for govt money and student loans, this means steady numbers throughout the year and access to more teaching resources, but a huge headache when dealing with a large buracracy.

What are requirements for instructors in Canada?...in terms of licences, experience, endorsements...?
