Hi,
Well, as the owner and operator of Strathaven Airfield, south of Glasgow and east of Prestwick, I am doing just that with a PPL holder who wants to become an instructor.
The key to a good school, I feel, is good staff. And if you find the right person - who, to me, will be the best in the industry - then you want to pay them the best rates.
And if they need help, in any way, then you should give it to them. Hopefully they will go the extra mile for the students, and the students will then respect that.
Dare I say that respect is something fading in flying schools.
My background was in journalism, and newspapers treat staff like brown stuff. definitely no respect for the staff, or from the public (who, strangely enough, are the readers!)
Oh yes, before I forget, I am a microlight school. So we are not hours building for a licence or waiting for a relatively high paid job to pay off our debts, as so many Group A guys are forced to do.
We are simpy in it for the fun and to earn a modest living, but the fun is the biggest part since you only get one go at life!
Very best of luck
