FIC - A Decision!
Hi,
I am new to PPrune so apologies if this has been discussed before (I am sure it has). Also if I am in the wrong forum please redirect me.
Would appreciate some advice and feedback. Been flying Gliders and usual light aircraft 15 years, 400 hours, IMC, Night etc, love flying and always had an interest in instructing. Career in Training and Management Development etc. Circumstances mean more available time now and I am considering doing an FIC course with a view to instructing freelance/part time.
Assuming I can pass the course successfully I will be 53 at that point. Critical questions for me are 1) is my age going to be a barrier and 2) are there potential opportunities for people with my age/ experience profile?
I would really appreciate your views and also hearing about the experience of others who have become instructors in similar circumstances
Many thanks
