microlght instructor rating/made clear?
hi everyone
just joined today, this forum is great.
i am looking for some clarification on the requirements to become a microlight flying instructor. i have passed all ppl ground exams, i have only 8 hours in at the moment on microlight flexwing, but i intend a career change by the end of 2007.
what i need to know is,
do i need a class 1 medical to instruct on microlights?
how much will the whole training cost? (i have a budget of £10000.)
where is best to train? i live in wakefield west yorkshire.
is there enough work out there to attain £300 per week?
am i too old? i am 44.
any help any of you can give me would be greatly appreciated, i just want to fly for a living and i have remortgaged the house to fund this change. i am looking at the microlight route as it is growing year on year and its still affordable to most people. i should have done something when i was 20, but like most people, kids, mortgage and life got in the way.
i look forward to your help.
thank you
