We're paying around $60 per flying hour for a Grade 3 GA instructor so we don't feel too bad about making harsh decisions.
What rate to they get for briefings, aircraft preparation etc?
I imagine that this is how much a school pays them for airtime and that this is a casual wage with the Junior3's earning next to nothing for briefings, admin, cleaning etc.
Sadly I've noticed a couple of students from aero clubs whose theory knowledge is so poor because their instructors don't properly brief them prior to flight that it hinders progress. Also should double check whether $60 actually meets the award...
P.S. I will never set foot in an RA aircraft, lost too many friends to inferior machines.
