| JLS Aviation accepts applications for flight instructors at any time. Hired flight instructors are independent contractors and enjoy flexibility in terms of scheduling and off time. Each flight instructor is asked to complete a written contract with the Flight School outlining procedures and expectations. In general, the Flight School is looking for instructors who have integrity in their personal conduct and in the application of flight instruction standards and practices. Flight instructors can work on full time or part time basis. Scheduling is accomplished through an on-line scheduling system that affords students an opportunity to schedule both an aircraft and an instructor for a given time period. The one requirement is that each instructor must train at least one student toward a license or rating each year.
Compensation for flight instruction is rewarded based on two important criteria. First, pay is adjusted for the amount of time an instructor actively teaches. Second, pay is further enhanced by establishing a track record of completing student training and achieving a high percentage of first-time passes on practical tests.
All instructors are asked to complete an initial check ride in a Flight School aircraft, and if successful, may then teach students seeking appropriate ratings in that make and model of aircraft. Check rides are then conducted annually, or in additional aircraft or for additional privileges as desired by the instructor. Each instructor is expected to apply and teach the course syllabi published by Jeppesen, Inc, and to adhere to the standards established under CFR Part 141. Additional courses are available from the school for courses not covered by Jeppesen. The Flight School continually receives requests from prospective students for flight instruction. The Chief Instructor assigns students after considering availability, experience and other relevant factors. Instructors are encouraged to recruit students independently and may then retain those students for instructional purposes.
Applications or questions regarding employment should be directed to either the Chief Instructor, Rex Taylor or Jim Stover.
