Hi all,
I used to flight instruct full time a few years back and fly full time however I would like to ease back into aviation but only teaching ground school. (many reasons for this libity etc) Sitting back and doing the math it seems like it is more profitable to get 5-10 people together and do a 6 week ground school. (then flight instructing)
I was thinking of charging for a private $200 plus materials. I was also thinking of using either Jepp or Rod's book but NOT CPC because not everyone will be flying a Cessna or at a school that uses CPC. I was planning on NOT doing the classes at an airport or in conjunction with a flight school but rather getting a place locally that will let me borrow a space for a couple hours a week for a fee. (this is because all the flight schools in this area are greedy and will not let you free lance)
Should I be charging more? I was planning on recruiting students through on-line first but I would like to hear some other ideas? My main questions are in Florida what do I have to do legally? Do I need a business license? Do I need to incorporate?
Thanks
