Thank you for your interest in Falcon Aviation Academy. I am in charge of CFI recruiting at Falcon Aviation Academy in Georgia. We are wanting to appeal to you guys as best we can and over lots of input from other CFI's this is the structure we have come up with. Right now we are paying our guys (and girls) $17 an hour for the first 30 days, provided they complete the aopa online safety courses and attend a safety seminar of some kind after 30 days their pay goes up to $22 an hour. With each additonal rating they get an increase in pay until they top out at $25 an hour. We currently provide Health and Dental benefits to our full time (those who fly at least 70 hours a month) instructors. We also have incentive programs in place, for example......if you were to sign off a private student provided they pass the first time the instructor would get a $75 bonus, additional ratings would be $50, and commercial sign offs $100. We also have alot of international students, if an instructor completes an international private student in 45 days they recieve a $250 bonus. We also have contracts in place as well......If you sign a 6 month contract with us and you have your initial CFI we will pay for your additional rating (CFII, MEI). With a 12 month contract we will pay for the additional ratings plus a $400/ month housing allowance for the 12 months. In some cases we can pay for moving costs with the substitution of a rating. With an 18 month contract you get the same as the 12 month but after 30days pay goes up to $30 an hour (provided you have all your ratings). All of our instructors are provided 5 hours per aircraft training allowance in each aircraft type (DA20, DA40, DA42, C152, C177, C182, BE55, Arrow, Archer) for a total of 35 hours of company provided training. We have 41 aircraft mostly diamond, and 4 atlanta area locations. Our instructors are flying between 90 and 120 hours a month. We would like to speak with you more about becoming a CFI with us, we feel our pay and benefits are fair and hope that we can work together in the future. Send Resume to
