Costs during solo (Instruction)

GEG GEG wrote in message ...
After one qualifies to solo, do you still
pay intructor rates during solo flights?
I would expect that during briefings and
debriefs, one woul.

But do oyu pay for the whole time you are flying?

Thanks!
Hey
Belated answer but you should not have to pay for any solo flight if
your CFI isn't standing right there for either required or necessary
supervision as well as pre/post flight. If there is a flight that
requires me to be at the airport with a student, they know right up
front they will pay for my time as a CFI with a rate equal to flight
time instruction.
As a sidenote, back in the 60's when I began charging for ground time,
I was told I'd lose all my students since NO ONE ELSE was charging for
it. I told them they were nuts and was not going to give away my time.
Wasn't long after that everyone began rightfully charging for their
ground time. Now there are few pilots left who can remember giving
away that precious and valued ground instruction. The airplane is a
lousy classroom.....
If I'm not making a minimum of $25 per hour it simply isn't worth my
time to even drive to the airport.
