IRI instructor pay
 

Hi,

Whats the average pay for IRI instructor per hour? Nett!

Cheers,

A

A MEIR instructor at a school in Waterford, Ireland will earn 2000 euro retainer per month and then 40 euro per hour flight/sim/ground instruction time. Average monthly training figures are in excess of 120 hours. Do the maths, that's 24K retainer plus 12 x 4,800 = 57,600.

57,600 + 24,000 = 81,600 Euro which is equivalent to £65,000 Gross.

Hope that helps.

If that's the case, the IAA need to look at it; any instructor working at that rate is not going to be able to deliver instruction of any quality. This example is far from the average.

120 Hours
 

If working 22 days a month that's only 5H45 a day of flight/sim/ground. What's wrong with that?

5hrs 45mins instruction a day? I can keep that amount of instruction up for about 3 days before I'm ****** (scuse my french but there's no other word for it!).

VFE.

At PTC ( I think ) you get paid for the briefings and de-briefings, so for a flight its about 3 hour total instructional hours. And when they say 120 hours a month they mean 120 instructional hours not flight hours

Was gonna say........ if I was on that pay scale I'd be clearing 50% more instructional hours a day. :(

VFE.

Just for the record, PTC do not pay for the pre flight brief, nor the debrief, only the flight time, sim time or ground school time and the flying programme starts at 0830 and finishes at 2030 and each instructor is required to complete 8 hours of chargeable tution during that 12 hour duty period. That's 4 days on and then 2 days off.

And VFE, I totally agree with your statement, after 4 days of that you definately need the 2 days to recover.

The instructional time is not all flight time so the average of 120 - 140 a month is a combination of all three disciplines.
