|  CFI hours/yr What is the ballpark average number of hours a cfi working full time acquires in a years time? I'm guessing it's around 200 hours per year. Is that about right? |

| Re: CFI hours/yr I am averaging 70 hours per month which translates to about 800 per year. |

| Re: CFI hours/yr I"m getting about 80 hours a month. Or 960/year. Although at todays personal record pace of 8.5 hours of instruction given (5 different students), it would put me at 204 hours a month.(unrealistic).  |

| Re: CFI hours/yr 61.195 (a) Hours of training. In any 24-consecutive-hour period, a flight instructor may not conduct more than 8 hours of flight training. Says nothing of ground instruction  |

| Re: CFI hours/yr about the 8 hour rule of flight instruction... it actually isnt too hard to hit up against this rule.... I had a scenario recently where I did: 1) afternoon scenic from Redding CA around mt. shasta ( guy was a pilot, so it counted as instruction) i think 2 hrs 2) late day 2hr day / 2 hr night dual from Redding CA to Watsonville CA and back (commcercial training) 3) early AM lesson the next day in a Katana 4) mid morning lesson with a primary. I was doin the math cuz there was some other round-of flights in there (scenic or discovery) and it wasnt looking good. But hey, I am a hungry CFI  The funniest part of the next day was when I was talking to my boss (owner of the FBO) telling him how much I was flying, he said there was no restriction under part 91 (obviously us CFI's are more onto this than HE was). I think he was seeing the green $$$ thats all... but about the initial thread topic.... I dont fly as often as folks in the busier flight schools. Perhaps I do about 35-50 hr per month. But, this time is really fun and diverse and I am liking it... |
