How much do part time pilot jobs pay per year?
What is the difference between Part Time Pilot vs Flight Instructor?
| Aspect | Part Time Pilot | Flight Instructor |
|---|---|---|
| Required Credentials | Commercial Pilot License (CPL), possibly a private pilot license | Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) certification, often holds CPL |
| Work Environment | Airlines, charter services, private flights, or aerial work | Flight schools, training aircraft, and student pilots |
| Employer & Industry Usage | Airlines, charter companies, private operators | Flight training academies, flight schools |
Part Time Pilots typically operate aircraft for various commercial or private purposes, often with a CPL, while Flight Instructors focus on training student pilots and hold a CFI certification. Both roles require aviation credentials but serve different functions within the aviation industry.

In this role, your duties include providing aerial transportation to customers who each own shares of a plane. You can also pilot unmanned drones, provide crop dusting services to farms, work for state agencies taking aerial photos, or work as a certified flight instructor. As an instructor, your responsibilities include teaching others the skills needed to fly a single- or multi-engine plane, read instruments, and follow appropriate FAA regulations.
