Youngest Instructor at 22??
 

Just seen a TV feature about a very pleasant young lady who is claimed to be the youngest flying instructor in the UK. While wishing her all the best etc, I find it hard to believe that there are no instructors around aged less than 22 years. Replies to Granada TV...

youngest at 22 ????? I know somone who started instructing at 19!

I was instructing at 20 but not in the UK. Quite a few started younger than I.

Maersk Air has a CRJ Captain who is 24. Good on you Martin!!!

Not having seen the said TV item and what was actually transmitted by the media, it looks like the important word 'female' has been omitted in the report.

A check with the current CAA FCL database will confirm that the young lady is the youngest FEMALE flying instructor in the UK. She currently has a frozen ATPL and is hours building at the Manchester School of Flying based at Manchester Airport.

I know someone who knows her. Apparently she is ex-Monarch something ot other and when she has all her ducks lined up then its off back to Monarch as flightcrew.

I was an instructor on Military Motor Gliders when I was 19. 19 year old teaching 16 year olds to fly. Scary!

We had one at my old school who was 18, and looked all of 12. Scary thing was, he didn't even have his car driver's licence. His mum used to drop him off at work every morning. He was trying to grow a goatee to make himself look a bit older but he couldn't even do a decent job of that. Not surprisingly he found it difficult to persuade students to take him seriously let alone fly with him, I think he gave it up after a year or so.

I passed my AFI rating two days before my 20th birthday, and was a jet Captain at 30.

And I still can't get it right !. :)

I know her quite well as she did her AFIC at Ravenair - she's great, and yes, she used to be a Monach 'hostie'.

So good for her... I wish I'd got into this flying business at her age rather than mine!

There is an instructor at SFT, Rob who looks 19. Saying that he is bloody good, as are all SFT instructors.

We are pleased to have some of the best flight attendants in the industry... Unfortunately none of them are on this flight

May I just say that the bet mentioned above is open to any PPRuNer.
This could either make me a lot or lose a lot of money, :)
approx 8000PPruNers have the bet with me, that's a gain of or loss of £80000. :) :) :)
