I fly pipeline and get $20 per flight hour in a 172 plus $20 a day for doing reports. It works out to about 22- 27 hours a week which I usually do in 3 days, I instruct the other days. If I contracted out I would ask for more but keep in mind there are tons of guys out there who I'm sure would do it for less. I have several people waiting for me to leave this job!
