Pre-takeoff checklist
I got my AGI a couple weeks ago, and threw my resume out just to see what might be available. Well, I got a call within a few days from a school that is just starting a ground school program (jeez, timing is everything). Anyways, I was invited to interview, and was asked to develop, and present a plan on the four forces. They really liked my presentation and teaching style, so I was offered a job to teach private and commercial ground schools (only have the AGI...guess I'll proabably get the IGI to teach instrument ground schools too).
It's a part time (couple nights a week) deal, and since they've never had a "ground instructor," they didn't have a pay scale, so they asked what I expected to be paid. I gave them a small range around the hourly rate I would like, but now it has me thinking........
How do ground school instructors typically set up pay? Is it an hourly rate ($20/hour), or a per classroom session rate ($50/class), or a whole course rate ($1000 to teach the PPL ground)?
I don't have an offer with a rate yet, so when that comes in maybe I can discuss the best option with them...this is probably something I should have considered before going in for the interview, but I've just always thought about aviation instruction in terms of hours.
Any thought/experiences?
