Notices
Flying Instructors & Examiners A place for instructors to communicate with one another because some of them get a bit tired of the attitude that instructing is the lowest form of aviation, as seems to prevail on some of the other forums!

New to the job!

Got the jobs through people I know, BlueRobin, so not very long - just an interview & check flight. A couple of weeks, maybe.

Thanks for some lovely comments everyone.

Penguina - may I add my own congrats to those of other posters! I would second many of those earlier comments. I instructed for 2 1/2 yrs full time before getting my lucky break........Though it was hard work and by the 5th day of each wk I would be cream crackered, I realise NOW what wonderful times they were!! I look back with great fondness on my FI experiences - most importantly, I learned how to fly an AC!!! My FI rating is about to lapse - must try and find time to get it revalidated. Good luck and enjoy.

Depends where and who.
I'd say from about 10k - 22k

Mach44,

Look at the ad currently running at the bottom of the page for Truman Aviation @ Nottingham:

£12k basic then £20 per flying hour.


By what I've read on here, that might be slightly higher than average.
