Helicopter
Independent Contractor Pilot
We hire
independent contractor Certified
Flight Instructors with 300 hours total helicopter time (TT) and RHC
Safety School to instruct in our flightschool. These are the
insurance requirements of the popular Pathfinder Indemnity Co. Ltd. to
instruct. This is a position for instruction and also working on our photo
contracts so you will historically build helicopter time more rapidly than
anywhere else. That 300 hours total time (TT) helicopter will need to include
100 hours learning our photo contract and you will pay for this at $150 per
hour. This is specialized training to perform the contract that isn't taught
at any other school but is popular with students from other schools that have
less than 200 hours TT to transfer. We can and will hire you at 300 hours TT
as an independent contractor instructor after this 100 hour as a transfer
CFI. Most operators require 1000 hours total time or more to carry passengers
but this is photo and instruction. If you have 200 hours and a CFI you will
need to pay for 100 hours @ $150 per hour ($15,000) and this should take a
month at the minimum, This will train you to get from 200 hours TT to 300
hours TT and to get an independent contractor CFI position with us. With an
independent contractor position with us you might get to 1000 hours PIC
in less than 12 months with the bulk of those hours in the warm months of
spring, summer and fall. As we mostly take photographs of boats and boats are
used mostly in the summer expect to build many hours in the summer and less in
the winter.
If you have a commercial and 150
hours TT you'll need to pay for 150 hours and a CFI rating which we charge
$5000 for at our school. You can transfer from another school NOW and take
advantages of our great rates: $250/hour for the first 100 hours and
$200//hour for the hours between 100 TT and 200 TT. Between 200 hours TT and
300 hours TT it's $150 an hour. Our roster of instructors split between
students that completed all of their training with us and transfer students
that came from other schools and went through our 100 hour program (feel free
to contact them). We guarantee to get you to 500 hours TT and most will get
to 1000 TT of
pilot in command time but this is largely dependent upon the flow of
incoming students and we offer no time limit. Call School Manager Tommy
McDermott at 561-346-2816 if you have any questions and a quick quote to get
up to our insurance minimums. Note: as a student you must weigh less than 240
LBS but all CFI’s MUST weigh 180 LBS or less.
