Flying Instructors & Examiners A place for instructors to communicate with one another because some of them get a bit tired of the attitude that instructing is the lowest form of aviation, as seems to prevail on some of the other forums!

How many students?

colleagues
How many students do you consider to be a sensible number to have 'on the go' at any one time. I realise its a bit like how long is a piece of string, but any thoughts would be welcome.

Balance!

How long is your string Balance

When you are getting paid by a hourly flying rate, you never seem to have enough students.

When you are getting paid by a wage, then you always have too many students

I work for a college that trains airline cadets. All the instructors have up to 6 students each. I personally feel that this is enough. The instructors only have to fly approx. 20 hours a week. So in a forty hour working week, the students get plenty of one on one time (breifing, debreifing and theory, plus approx. 13 to 14 flying hours a month.)
