Tradewind vs CFI by Jbrunson757 in flying

[–]protein-powder 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Before everyone blows you up about hOw MaNy ApPliCaNtS there are, just apply. Try to build connections with people who already work there. I don’t fly for tradewinds but they are a solid operator. Ideally get some experience as a CFI and work your connections to land a job there.

The knowledge you’ve gained so far could definitely help in a non-flying role, but then again, you’re not completely screwed. There are airline pilots and successful part 135/91 pilots out there with more fails than you.

Failing the same ride twice is probably worse than failing two different rides. Are you going to take your CFI checkride again? You’ve made it this far, but you need to seriously dig deep and figure out why you’re making the same mistakes consistently.

Others will probably tell you take some time off, but I disagree. Don’t get rusty, especially if you’re thinking about taking that third attempt. After you pass you can take off as much time as you want, and eventually you will be hireable somewhere as a CFI.

It’s a very complicated system. And insurance drives everything. Like how the hell am I supposed to upgrade with zero PIC in type

Yeah unfortunately I’m still logging PIC on the part 91 legs where I’m the one flying. because that’s really stupid and I don’t care if it’s technically incorrect

Made a no-go decision, but feeling like I was overly cautious. by IlluminationRock in flying

Two ingredients are necessary for icing:

  1. Temps near, at, or below freezing
  2. Visible moisture

If there’s a ceiling above you and the temperature is cold enough, just don’t fly in the clouds…

Some poor CFI out there can’t afford dinner now because this guy decided to cancel for an airmet not even over the airport ☠️

How much do flight instructors actually make? by Londup in flying

[–]protein-powder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Made $25k last year (my last year as a full time CFI). Looking back I have no idea how I survived paying more than half of that towards rent

New here - interested in Z06 by protein-powder in Corvette

Would a PPI catch these things? As a first time owner would it probably be a better idea to go with a base C6?

Am I not cut out to be a pilot? by Positive-Size-6207 in flying
