Charge from "hi to bye" and command a real rate. It is possible, but it takes effort.

 

[uwochris]

That's more than I have made in the past 1.5 months

 

[Ralgha]

25 bucks an hour is not a real rate.

i made $25/hr teaching, $65/hr for the plane. It is possible to somewhat live as Cfi the key is not to work for one of thoose flight schools that charges students $40-$60 an hour for the cfi the gives you the leftover crumbs after they take the majority of it.

Good Work! It used to take me 2.5 HOURS to make that much when I instucted in the BE20.

I Agree with C208. Plus consider salaried CFi's....your compensation is independent of hours flown, so in a bad month your nominal compensation per flight hour could be twice of $25/hr easy. (Example: $1600/mo at a university...you flew 70 hours...$1600...you flew 20 hours..still $1600. ). Granted, salaried cfi positions are the minority , but like C208 said, don't take the 10 bucks/pop gig with 40 billable hour a month availability. We know those don't command that kind of money...

CFI's only get 20$ an hour where im going to cfi at

 

[c208fr8dawg]

thats ok theres one place in dallas that pays theirs around $10 or $11/hr....what a joke!

 

[Lil Jon]

yea $10 is a joke, my first cfi job was $7 but i guess i was gettin college credit for it too. i'm in the process of trying to get a raise.....we'll see
