Hi,
This is my first post so go easy.
I have used the search but couldnt find anything that is recent to answer my questions.
Ok... i want to work in aviation, as an instructor. I am good at teaching people things, calm and would love the knowledge that i have helped people pursue their dream. I have no intention whatsoever to go to the airlines. I am 30, wife and 2 kids (3 and 1), private renting with no intention of buying just yet.
I went up in a helicopter and a cessna just to make sure which one i want to do for a living. I liked the helicopter but LOVED the cessna, so its airplanes i wanna do.
1: I know i have to get the PPL, then hour build and then CPL, but i have been told they may be aboloshing the need for CPL. Is this true?
2: Is microlight instructing better paid? , if so is it as dangerous as people make out compared to clas a aircraft?
3: What sort of wage do you think i could be looking at after 3 years of instructing? I would be willing to train for more qualifications.
Many Thanks
Matt
