True fact. I openly admit to withholding 10% of what the student pays, for overhead. The instructor gets the remaining 90%.FlyingForFun wrote:Or the employer charges whatever and pays the instructor a salary or hourly rate that could be different than what the student pays for the instructor.
Why, you're just a young kid. Mine was a 7AC Champ, in 1961. And it was a buck less. (You paid extra for that nosewheel.)FlyingForFun wrote:When I started as a student in 1962, the Tri-Champ 7FC

Assuming you've already passed your FOI and Aeronautics writtens, that's completely practical. Unless you have lots of tailwheel experience, you'd do best taking your checkride in something with a nosewheel. You don't say what your flying or teaching background might be. The CFI practical is more about teaching than it is about flying.Can you finish the Sport Pilot CFI in one week if you do the training full time???
