Strange aim - unprofessional instructors

Being new to the flying instructing market (having been in IT for many years) I am quite puzzled why some people seem to be pushing to have non-professional pilots as instructors (experienced PPLs)....

I'm not trying to get a jet job!

Hi Blinkz,

I've been many times to Bembridge. My tips would be:

1. Talk to Solent Radar.
2. Cimb to around 3000' in case the engine stops - but watch for the Solent airspace.

Any update?

What did you decide in the end? I too have been thinking of going to Blackbushe aviation as they are quite close and seem reasonably priced.

Just completed CPL theory at GTS

As with all these choises where ever you do your CPL theory and you pass then you will think that it is great!

Well I don't want a change!

After a few years trying to decide what to do I have recently taken the plunge and started my CPL theory course in order to be a career FI. I'd be a bit gutted if the...

Thank you for the advise everyone. I got the instructions from the racecourse staff - I didn't like the land and depart in opposite directions! As you say OK if a cross wind or light.

Are there any Canadian JAR approved schools?

Is there an even cheaper option to do hour building / training in Canada? The current CAD to GBP exchange rate makes the flying there look very cheap.
