Becoming FI after 40
Hi all,
I am a private pilot 220 hrs SEP complex, with aerobatic rating, considering to go for an EASA FI(A) here in UK. Having just turned 42, I know I am a bit late to make a living out of it, but passion call is strong...Actually the target is part time teaching blending with my other (main) job, licensed aircraft maintenance engineer for a major aerospace company. I hold as well a degree in aerospace engineering. I understand that my age is really playing against me, but considering that I have been involved in aviation for over 20 years I hope it will count toward creating a "convincing" professional figure. Hence here I am asking for comments...Don`t be gentle, if a reality check is due, then let it be.
