Many pilots see flight instruction as a way to build enough time and experience to be able to achieve an ATP rating and get hired by the scheduled airlines. But what if a pilot simply wants to teach? Is it possible to make a viable living as a full-time flight instructor? Derek and David answer that question in episode 3 of Flying With a Purpose.

In this episode of Flying With a Purpose, Derek and David discuss ratings and add-ons, the old FAA PTS versus the newer ACS, and how the new ACS helps pilots manage risk and execute better aeronautical decision making.

In this episode of Flying With a Purpose, David asks Derek what qualifies him to own and operate a flight school like Melbourne Flight Training. They also discuss standardization of the flight instruction given at the flight school.

Welcome to the first episode, the "pilot" episode, of Flying With a Purpose.
