How much do Flight Instructors make?

I love to fly, but could not handle working for a air lines. Im thinking of getting my commercial and CFI license, to be a instructor...

Anyone that is one, or was.. my question to you is, was it easy to find a job, and build up clients? Could I possibly get hired at a flight school, like a college? Is it salary base, or commission/hourly?

And can you do side jobs? Like fly banners, maybe even work for a private company flying jets?

Im living in Chicago,IL and thinking in future moving to Key west, FL

They dont make very much unfortunately. I'd guess about $15 to $20 per flight hour is average, but it can be as high $50 plus for an experienced instructor or specialized training. A very busy instructor will be teaching approximately 30 to 40 hours per week. Thats including flight training and ground instruction. Some schools may pay a salary to instructors, but you'll have duties other than just teaching and flying.

If you work for a flight school they will often take a percentage of the rate they charge. For instance, the school I taught for 10 years ago charged $30 per hour and I got 50% of that. If you work for yourself, called freelance instructing, you can charge whatever you want and keep all of it. With the economy right now it's hard to attract new students unless you work for a big school. You'll also have a lot more prospective pilots in Chicago than you would in Key West!

There are several colleges that have aviation programs, and many large flight schools that hire CFI's
You can certainly do side jobs while instructing, although most pilots instruct as a side job. When I was a full-time CFI I flew banners, photography, fish-spotting and sightseeing rides on the side. None of those are very lucrative either, and banner towing can be downright dangerous!

Another option is to become a simulator instructor for a place like FlightSafety or SimuFlite (links below). They train corporate and airline crews and are supposed to be pretty good jobs. You'll also be training a lot of guys who can help you get that "side job" flying corporate jets.

Most people dont make a career out instructing. It's hard to make enough money to survive. Flight instructors are usually building experience to get a better job, or just teaching for fun if they already have another career.

Flight instructing is a fun job, and great way to become a better pilot yourself. I highly recommend it, but not as a full time career choice. Good luck!

Becoming a Airline Pilot. Here is my plan...Is it good?

1. I'm 14. Get through high school
2. Save as much money as possible
3. When I'm 17 Obtain my PPL and Multi Engine and Instrument.
4. 18..Get my commercial Certificate, and CFI
5. 23 Get my ATP written and Go with a regional airline..Express Jet etc
6. Build Seniority, PIC time. hours etc. after 5 year's or so, Go with the Majors.

Now, I can't see myself doing anything else, But I will go to college and take classes as much as possible ( Won't stay on campus, I'll be a regional airline pilot) and Major in Healthiness. (Always wanted to be a doctor)

I will take of a flying Job as a CFI, Banner tower, whatever I can while I'm in school to build as many hours as possbile.

Does that plan sound good?
What should I look at when looking for a flight school?
Are the schools that offer a College degree and aviation certificates (private's commercial's etc) at the same time a better choice?

Thanks

I'll major in Health care***

A couple of observations:

1) While it's great that you want to start flying that young, it is absolutely not a requirement and won't really help your career that much as you will still need a 4 year college degree in something to make it anywhere. What I'm saying is, there is no harm in saving money and waiting until college or after to start flying. That way, you can concentrate on studying. If you do it your way, make sure you are always building time. You won't get any flying jobs if you don't have recent flying experience.

2) Get your ATP written out of the way as soon as you start applying to regionals, even if you are under 23. If you go through your airlines upgrade program to get your ATP (i.e. you will), then you can use an expired written. I knew lots of guys who got their ATP, at an airline, with an expired ATP written exam results. Note, this only applies if you get your ATP through your airline during a captain upgrade, not if you go to some flight school to get it.

3) Don't get into this field unless you are prepared to spend your entire career at a regional. Most people don't make it to the majors. Some don't even make it to regional captain due to furloughs or their airlines of choice always going out of business.

4) Every single airline pilot has once said "I can't see myself doing anything else". Many of them later on in life say "I wish I could find a way to do something else". What I'm saying is, have a backup plan and get a college degree in something non-aviation.

5) Getting a college degree in anything that has the word "Aviation" in it is a waste of time and money. Go to a local state college. It's much cheaper and airline won't care either way.

6) Going to a major doesn't require PIC time. It requires knowing the right people. I know of people who have gotten hired at large US major airlines (after 9/11/01) without a single hour of jet/turbo-prop time, let a lone PIC-jet time. If you meet the right people, you could make it to the majors without waiting those 5 years. Unfortunately, most people don't have those kind of contacts.
