Teach people to become Private and Commercial Pilots! The Class IV Instructor rating allows you to conduct flight training private and commercial licenses, night ratings and VFR-OTT to students under the supervision of a Class I or Class II Flight Instructor. This is an excellent choice for your first pilot job in aviation and can help to open doors to career progression. As you gain experience and ‘recommends’ you can upgrade your rating to Class III, Class II and eventually Class I.
Instruction can be a personally rewarding experience if you have a passion for both aviation and teaching. There is also a constant demand for qualified flight instructors across Canada and it’s a great way to advance your aviation career and open up new opportunities.
