I have just finished my CPL/IR and would really like to go on and get my instructor rating. I enjoy flying light aircraft, and would really like to pass on my experience to others. My problem is that I do not have the required 5000 pounds to complete the rating. I am in the process of applying for the GAPAN scholarship, and it got me thinking... Do you think that any schools would fund the FI rating, in return for service on a bond agreement or at a reduced salary until the rating is paid off?
Now I know that an instructors wage isn't that great, however it would only be the same as paying back a loan to the bank, and my partner is very supportive. Has anyone heard of this being done?
Thanks
KK
