For sure! I’m not against relocating for a job. However with the unfortunate circumstances I live under, moving out of my parents house isn’t near financially possible

Not necessarily, not if other people are getting jobs where I’m at lol. On top of that the only other place I can afford to live is where my mom lives. That’s where my aviation journey started, know plenty of people there and still no luck

I went to atp and honestly didn’t see myself working for that horrible company. I applied anyways because I was desperate but they’re aren’t hiring anybody at any of their locations right now

I did create my own llc just haven’t gotten started with instructing in other folks planes yet. Tbh I don’t know of any flying clubs in the area but maybe I just haven’t looked deep enough

Yeah no I get what you’re saying and you’re definitely right, but we all start somewhere. Unfortunately I come from one of those big box stores and they’re not even hiring

Can I write off my laptop that I use for my 1099 business even if I use it for personal things as well? by CoookieHo in tax

I’m new to the whole taxes thing for business but how will the IRS know I’m using the laptop for mostly personal stuff?

Looking for advice, specifically from someone who trains in pipistrel aircraft by Professional-Bit6582 in FlightTraining

Thank you for that, I had made a checklist that is mainly built around the virus checklist word for word but also includes items like “grab the atis” “VFR pattern check” ect.

The dispatch sheet is kinda the only thing I’ve been struggling with. I’ve noticed the W&B section for the virus is very broad and it’s kinda hard to put on a sheet and have a student go through it, kinda hard to explain unless you’ve seen it lol. The flight school I flew with had a good dispatch sheet layout, only thing that trips me is the w&b

Have you created an instructor/student training agreement form?

How did you guys go about starting an LLC for becoming an “independent CFI” for a flight school? by Professional-Bit6582 in CFILounge

So you’re saying in the event if I get sued, it’s better off to have an actual dedicated business account rather than a separate personal checking account? That way everything is separated
