The Role

At Adventure Air, our Flight Instructors play a vital role in shaping the next generation of pilots. As Certified Flight Instructors, they uphold the highest standards of training, professionalism, and safety while creating a welcoming and supportive learning environment. Based at David Jay Perry Airport, our instructors guide students through various training programs, emphasizing safety, sound decision-making, and risk management at every stage.

More than just teachers, our Flight Instructors serve as mentors, helping students progress through their training with confidence. They also manage student training portfolios, ensuring each pilot receives the guidance and resources needed for success.

Key Responsibilities:

• Schedule and coordinate training to keep students on track.

• Provide high-quality flight and ground instruction, emphasizing safety and risk management.

• Maintain accurate training records and ensure compliance with FAA and school standards.

• Support students through all stages of training, preparing them for checkrides with effective coaching and feedback.

• Participate in instructor standardization training and assist with solo monitoring when needed.

• Contribute to curriculum development, helping students master essential aviation concepts.

• Engage in professional development, including assisting with Dispatch and Line Crew operations.

We believe in flexibility and efficiency, empowering our instructors to manage their schedules effectively while maintaining a high level of training quality. At Adventure Air, you’re not just instructing—you’re inspiring the next generation of aviators.
