FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR

Certified Flight Instructor

Teaching others how to fly is a very challenging task but gives pilots added safety and confidence. If you are a good teacher and make excellent aviators out of your students, you gain a great source for fulfillment and admiration.

Flight Instructors teach a various levels. They offer instruction for the Private Pilot Certificate, Commercial Certificate, Multi-Engine Rating, and Instrument Rating. While working as a flight instructor, flight times are logged. Thus, this is a brilliant way to build time toward the 1,500 hours required by most airline companies, plus instructor pilots get paid.
