Worldwide CFIs, please help...
Dear all,
Need urgent information and experience share from all of you instructors.
I plan to train for CFI (CFII) in the US.
My questions are:
- Anybody who could advise on where you can instruct except in the US (non US and no green card),
- Are there possibilities of conversions and if yes, what are the procedures,
- Usually, can a beginner instructor live with what he earns from instructing,
- If FAA CFI is not that recognised, what would you guys recommend?
Thanks in advance and pls, fly safe!!

Hi Alexander,
Instructing in Texas??? Would you be working for Tyler?
So are you US or non US?
Maybe are you Brit having passed CPL CFII in the US. In all cases, I am interested in having some chats with you.
Just to clarify me, how did you jump the gaps FAA, JAA (or CAA)??
Many thanks
