Flight instruction job in central Texas


Recommended Posts

Hi friends,


As many of you know, I founded and operated a small flight instruction service with my Cessna 172 for a couple years.  Back in December, I sold the operation to a couple business partners.  My friend, Aaron, stayed on board as the chief flight instructor.


We flew a single airplane for 80-100 hours per month, plus instruction in owners' aircraft.


Since selling the business, it's expanded to several aircraft and is still growing in scope.  You won't have a huge student base handed to you, but with dedication, there will be plenty of chances to gain students and fly full time within a matter of weeks.


Our training focus was always getting full utility out of the aircraft - whether that's flying to Dallas Love or Houston Hobby, or just taking the plane out to one of the local flying ranches.


While the AOPA says that only about 30% of student pilots who start training actually end up with a private pilot certificate, our numbers were closer to 80-90% finishing with at least a Private certificate.  A few of our students have gone on to become aircraft owners, which is something I know all of us want to see more of.


Anyways, if you're a motivated individual and think that flight instruction needs improvement, I invite you to reach out to my friend Aaron Dabney at Waco Flying Service.  They're going to need some help in getting additional capacity in the near future.
