Experienced Atlanta-area CFIs needed (KPDK)

[gtcfi]

The Georgia Tech Flying Club is in need of additional CFIs to handle our increasing student load.

CFI Qualifications:

• 3+ years as a pilot
• 1+ years as a CFI
• 100+ hours Private Pilot dual given (not flight reviews, checkouts, etc.) or 2+ Private Pilot candidates signed off who passed on the first attempt
• Must have stable residence in the Atlanta metro area, convenient to KPDK
• Must be able to handle at least two (2) full-time primary students (full time = student who flies 2+ days per week)
• Must be able to fly at least three weekdays (Mon-Fri) and one weekend day (Sat-Sun) each week during daylight/business hours

We may consider instructors who do not meet these requirements if they have other exceptional qualifications.

Quick Overview of Club Environment:

• Flying club with 80-100 members -- not a flight school or FBO
• Members are Georgia Tech students, alumni, and staff -- most have a strong technical background
• Most training is at the primary (Private Pilot) level -- about 5% go on to Instrument training -- NO multiengine training
• Student load is variable -- there is often a waiting list during the school year, and open availability during the summer -- student load is not guaranteed
• Fleet consists of four Cessna 172s (3 N/P models, 1 S model)
• Student pays CFI directly -- CFI keeps 100% of the instruction fees -- current rate is $34/hour
• Student pays CFI for "clock" time (pre-flight, flight, post-flight, ground training, etc.)
• CFIs operate as independent contractors -- NO benefits are provided, CFI responsible for taxes, etc.
• CFI is NOT required to be at airport when not training
• CFI sets his/her own availability and schedule
• CFI is expected to attend at least three of four quarterly CFI meetings each year
• CFIs may rent club airplanes at club rates for proficiency flights (no overnight flights) without paying club membership fees -- current rental rates start at $99/hour wet
• Club CFIs are qualified for club membership (must pay membership fees) which grants full access to airplane fleet
• No specific dress code, as long as you're clean and presentable

The Hiring Process:

1. Resume screening
2. In-person interview and document review with the Chief CFI, and possibly one other club officer
3. Check flight with the Chief CFI (at the club's expense) -- applicant will be asked to demonstrate teaching a particular topic on the ground and in flight
4. Recommendation to the Executive Committee by the Chief CFI
5. Approval by vote of the Executive Committee
