Question Working as a flight instructor part time until the right opportunity comes along
Hey guys,

Been on the forum for a while, and got some great advice, so first off, thanks to all for that.

I have been going over the idea of possibly becoming a flight instructor part time, and working it alongside my existing career, with the long term ambition of eventually adding on the required licenses/ratings (I/R, CPL, MEP etc) to go for a career as a pilot.

I would see this as a way to enjoy flying, gain experience, not shell out as much money as I would if I was to say go for a full ATPL course, and risk not being able to find employment.

Does this make sense? Am I possibly missing something? Has anyone else done something similar to this?
