You earned the certificate. Now learn the business.

Flight training teaches you how to teach flying. It doesn't teach you how to get paid for it. The Working CFI is a practical guide to the business side of flight instruction for newly certificated instructors, whether instructing is a stepping stone or a career.

It covers the decisions that shape a new CFI's first year: setting your rates, getting paid for all of your time (preflight, briefing and debriefing included), handling cancellations, no-shows and weather days, building a student base, and protecting yourself as a professional. Applies to both airplane and helicopter instructors.
