How to become a pilot instructor?

A pilot instructor provides flight training for people seeking a pilot’s license. Earn your pilot’s license and log many hours of flying. Practice describing each of the steps leading up to and including take off so that you can be an effective teacher to your students. Flight schools require instructors to obtain a Flight Instructor Certificate. Additional qualifications for this job include a commercial pilot certificate or airline transport pilot certificate. State requirements may vary, so research what is required in your state. Once you have several years of experience as flying planes, seek pilot instructor positions at small airports and flight schools.
