Aerosim Flight Academy

Anyone actually heard anything back? I applied and called to follow up on my application and they never returned my call. I have 900hrs tt and got my ratings at dca a few years back.

Nope
Had other people apply as well and haven't heard anything.

They don't need anybody,don't believe rumors. I applied and no answer.

There has been a continuous flow of new instructors coming through the academy, they just started a new standz class last week. I think they can only have something like 15 in a class

Anyone know what their phone interview consists of?

I just had a friend get hired there. He only has his CFI.

Really? I applied there months ago and again when I got my CFII. Still no response from them at all.
Or did he do his training there? In which case that makes sense.

Nope. We both went to ERAU.

they want guys spending money like doing cfii or else.preferance to students.

You don't take rejection well. Then again they may end up calling you at a later date.

i was a student there years ago.so i know.prefer their students who paid for cfii mei and time building as a cfi.

I fly at the Jax Aerosim or train there in other words. Actually been there for awhile. If anyone has questions about that base I can probably find the answers for ya.

Does anyone know the gouge on the phone interview? Help would be appreciated. This is for the CFI position

A gouge for a phone interview at a flight school? If you are a CFI, you should be prepared for a position as one.

I think there is one in the interview section of the forum. You will have to search for it.

Looking for a gouge for a CFI position is no different than looking for a gouge for a regional airline. Its all stuff you should know if your trying to get the job. They all ask the same types of questions: airspace, IFR, approach plates, emergencies, etc. When you are looking to break into each level of the industry every little bit of info helps! Plus Aerosim's standards are very strict so I would say getting through the interview/standz there is harder than some regional airlines are.

I applied months ago and they called relatively soon. Didn't take it but it was relatively straight forward. Like rotor2wing said, pretty straight forward questions. If your a half co patent CFI you should breeze through it.

Yes, they are a tough school. I did zero hours to CFII there so trust me, I know... but at the same time, if you are a CFI expecting to get a teaching job, you should already be prepared to interview.

I am a plenty competent CFI CFII MEI. I was just looking for any help. I've had CFI jobs and I've always tried to help the people who were coming on new to a school.

I just recently had a phone interview. And like what everyone said. They asked me 5 questions which in my opinion a private pilot should know. Don't sweat it at all...
