I want to start a part-time(part time student/part time CFI) CFI job around august and I'll work exceptionally hard to get my CFI rating. Anybody know the Pre-req's for a CFI? I believe it is Commercial, Multi Engine and IFR, but I might be wrong.

Also anyone have a list of ratings/endorsments you could get after a PPL? I've been searching for this but i haven't found any info.

Aero-TV: Instructor Of The Year -- Master CFI Arlynn McMahon



Future for Cfi's?

When the big hiring boom started with the regional airlines a little while back, I decided to go back to flight school and turn my private license into something useful. As we all know, airlines went from a "hire everyone we can get" mode, to a "lets get rid of people" mode.

I realize this is going to saturate the instructor market with people like me who were trying to catch the band wagon, and people that did get that airline job, then lost it with airline cut backs.

So my question is, how bad does everyone expect this to be? Is there still going to be enough demand for a cfi that I should continue to pursue it, or should I save my money now and try later?

Any ideas about the helicopter market, if I were to change directions and go that route?

First - it is all a speculation - since no one knows what the fuel prices are going to be a month, six months, a year, two years etc from now.

In my experience, few people who are laid off from an airline come back to instructing. There is not just not enough money there to support yourself and your family. Most people on furlough look for corporate, cargo, or a non-flying job.

So the instructor market will not get saturated by furloughed pilots, but it may get saturated due to the lack of upward mobility for CFIs (new instructors being trained but old ones are not leaving). Flight schools were looking for instructors not too long ago and were having problems hiring them because regional airlines were hiring very low time pilots. So if you get your CFI soon you still may find a job - but you may have to work as CFI for few years until the job market for pilots improves again. If you wait - you may have to wait few years outside aviation. It really depends on how badly you want to be a pilot and what your financial situation is.

Helicopter market is much smaller and costlier than fixed wings. The only reason to go there is if you really want to fly helicopters and to make a career out of flying them.
