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!

Paid instruction?

Forum,

Can you get paid for flight instruction on a PPL(A) + FI(R) rating (incl CPL(A) groundschool, but not the full CPL(A) license)?

For the FI(R) rating, you only need to CPL(A) theory, not the full CPL(A) license (incl flight training & test), which implies (in my mind) that your FI(R) rating get added to your PPL(A) ticket, which you cannot use for hire & reward... So can you get paid for it, or do you need a complete CPL(A) license with FI(R) rating to be able to get paid?

Thanks.

In the UK, yes, for SEP. Different for microlights. Can't speak for all (or any) other States.

Simple question is do you hold a CPL - ie a licence that says 'commercial pilots license'? If not, the answer to your question is no.

However with the current changes being pushed through EASA the answer going forward is going to be yes. It is a move back to the old days of PPL Instructors.

It will encourage more PPL's to enter teaching and give greater continuity to students and schools rather than the constant drain caused by the loss of the hours builders to more attractive jobs.

Thanks Forum.

Inversely: with a PPL(A), class 2 medical and FI(R), I could instruct for free, right? Anyone doing that anyhow?

Niner Mike,

Yes you can, and I think there are more people out there doing just that than you might expect!

The good news is that when the changes currently proposed come through you will be able to get paid for doing so. Still on a PPL and, as I understand it still on a class 2, unless anyone who knows better can correct me on that one.

No-one seems to know quite when to expect the changes to be put in force, however, so I guess you shouldn't hold your breath...
