Well, having just revalidated my little used PPL, I'm rapidly approaching it's tenth birthday, but with a lowly total of 91 hours
, split between the states mainly & about 12 in the UK.
I'd like to try to fly a lot more, fortunately now I'm in a much better job, so should have more spare cash to convert into noise (& hopefully height!).. My only problem is that I cannot get a class one medical due to eyesight restrictions.
I'd like to carry on learning & developing my flying skills, so i was thinking about maybe doing a PPL FI course, but I'm not sure if a) I have enough experience to start the course, or b) if it would ever lead to being employable, as I have a full time job that can take me away for quite a lot of time in a year, do schools/clubs take on part time instructors?
I do work as a B1/2 engineer, so maybe could be useful teaching some technical ground school?
Is the IMC rating worth doing now or is it going to be defunct soon?
Any more suggestions for interesting courses or experiences would be most appreciated!
