Flying Instructor Rates

$88/hr + super for single engine piston.. doing average at least 5 hours a day.. minimum 2 hour callout, ie you turn up and flights are cancelled due wx..

more money for single engine turbine, and lots more for multi turbine IFR..

keeps me busy doing as a nice little extra earner on the side of my normal flying gig..

That's pretty typical casual rates for helicopter instructing..

Most guys that instruct casual tend to be higher hour guys that do it for something on the side from their fulltime gig

I know of a company on the Goldy who pays GR1's $65K (more if they teach ME IFR). $10 less for each grade of instructor.

Looking at what some people here are earning instructing, there is hope for those wanting fulltime work yet! Some impressive numbers if you ask me. I don't know of anyone earning more than NZ$40K / year instructing..
