Commercial pilot training jobs typically fall under two categories: flight school instructor roles and training positions within airlines or aviation organizations. Here's a breakdown of the different opportunities:
1. Flight School Instructor
- Job Description: As a flight instructor, you would teach students how to fly and prepare them for their FAA (or relevant authority) certifications, including private pilot, commercial pilot, and instrument ratings.
- Requirements: Typically, you need to hold a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) license, along with the required flight hours and ratings.
- Employers: Flight schools, universities with aviation programs, and private training academies.
- Advancement: After gaining experience as a flight instructor, you can progress to flying for commercial airlines or corporate aviation.
2. Airline Pilot Training Jobs
- Job Description: Airlines often hire experienced pilots to serve as training captains or first officers (also called co-pilots) to instruct new pilots, whether they are upgrading from first officer to captain or undergoing recurrent training.
- Requirements: You typically need to have substantial flight experience (often a few thousand hours) and be rated for the airline’s specific aircraft.
- Employers: Major commercial airlines, regional airlines, and cargo carriers.
- Advancement: These roles can provide the opportunity to advance from instructor roles to pilot positions with larger carriers.
3. Corporate Aviation
- Job Description: Corporate aviation or private jet companies hire pilots for training and development purposes, especially for specific types of aircraft.
- Requirements: In addition to being a commercial pilot, you might need specialized training for specific aircraft types.
- Employers: Corporate flight departments, charter companies, and private aviation organizations.
4. Simulator Instructor
- Job Description: Some pilots take on the role of training in flight simulators, which are used for both initial training and recurrent training for commercial pilots.
- Requirements: You need to be experienced in a specific aircraft type and may need additional certifications in simulators.
- Employers: Flight schools, airlines, and simulator manufacturers.
5. Government and Military Training
- Job Description: Some commercial pilots transition to military aviation or work with government agencies in flight training roles.
- Requirements: Military experience or meeting the qualifications for a government contract might be necessary.
