Can anyone tell me what a typical CFI gets paid? More specifically,
what a full time CFI in a local flight school can expect to get paid?
Just a WAG would be sufficient.


If you work for Delta Academy, you get $10 per flight hour.
If you work for an FBO or school, it is whatever rate they pay.
If you freelance, it depends on your reputation.

The instructor I use, I pay $35 per flight hour.
I know of another who charges $50 per flight hour.
Both are in demand and are turning students away because they have so
much work.
