Helicopter Flight Instructor Pay
 

What is the average pay for a part-time flight instructor per hour for instructuing PPL students in the UK (R22, S300c) ?

£40-£50 per flight hour.

freelance Helicopter Instructors could get £40 per hour here in the UK in 1985!!:sad:

I used to make $20 per hour (flight and ground instruction) here in the north east US. But worked the office when not flying and got $1,000 base pay a month - equated to a mere $7/hour! :eek:

New Zealand instructors; loaded. Start on as low as $25,000 salary.

Hi
Instructors working in the Middle East are on £60000+ with the current exchange rate.
Onwards and upwards

Norway pays about 50$ per hour instructing R22 and R44

In Oz I'm getting $130,000 but I'm not a newbie Grade 2 -I'm an old Grade 1.:8

That's Oz dollars unfortunately, the South Pacific Peso.:uhoh:

DD,

That is top dollar for an instructor, in fact any pilot in Australia.

I guess you are teaching NVGs etc on the Sunshine Coast.

Nice one anyway, something for us all to aspire too.

Yep, it is terrible pay. In the uk market the pay has not changed for the last 10 to 15 years, 40 to 50 pounds an hour. some get a retainer. but the company will see a way in making a ceiling for you, average monthly pay in the summer for a free lance will any where between 2000-3000 quid. yet in the winter periods can go down to 1000 quid a month. Corporate has gone tits up in the uk, so alot of pilots will not be able to supplement there income doing charter.
I'm even in a more awfull position, just about to get a wage increase which will put me more 75,000 sterling a year, TAX FREE. Oh hang on, better say it again for any people working in the UK "TAX FREE" :}
Feel tired, overworked, fatigued that I have to get up from my large villa, travel to work my 5 minute drive, do the awfull part of flying for a few hours, done my 6 hours duty if I'm on afternoon's, S.E vfr training. Finish then have the most terrible time round the golf course, cold beer and then back home for a swim in the pool. :{

If only I could go back to free lance instruction back in the UK, of being stiffed by a few cowboy companies and then by the tax man.
Life can be so cruel. :E

Fluffy,

your the man!

Hi F5

Think youre wrong there!!!?? Its more like £71556 TAX FREE. But don,t forget the Extra months pay for every 12 months so its £77519

Thank you very much P1driver, forgot about the extra after every 12 months, it really cuts deeply to the bone. :eek:

Fluff,

I think it's time you started a thread ' I have a very big handle and I know how to wind it'.:E

5 minute drive to work? Lazy b@$t@rd! Haven't you got a bike?

Of course Fluffy has a bike, she's Thai... Ping ping or something or other and her mate Ting tong, why do you think he has to drive to work!

In Seff Effrika you get 350 - 400 Rand per hour. That's about Twenty - twenty three pounds. Or 3 and a half - 4 cases of beer.....

How much tax do you have to pay on 3 1/2 - 4 cases of beer?
