No Experience Entry Level Flight Instructor Jobs
What are entry level flight instructor jobs?
Entry Level Flight Instructor Jobs are a great way to build commercial flight hours and practice core pilot skills such as teamwork, effective communication, and aeronautical decision-making. Entry level positions typically hire pilots with as little as 250 hours and often value pilots with multiple ratings, including CFII and MEI. The most common aircraft flown by these flight schools are Cessna 172s, however many include light multi-engine aircraft in their fleets. Hourly pay often falls between $20-30 per hour.
