Per our previous conversations over the past two years, I am applying for a position as a full time flight instructor with the Institute of Aviation and have enclosed my resume for your consideration.
How about, "It was a pleasure speaking to you about your current opening for a fulltime Flight Instructor with The Institute of Aviation."
Having accomplished my Flight Instructor training with single, multi and instrument ratings with The Institute of Aviation, I feel the extensive training I have received puts me in a favorable position to provide excellent flight instruction.
"As you know, I obtained all of my certificates through Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) at your School. This experience makes Institute of Aviation an excellent fit to my educational background."
Additionally, having already been employed as a part-time instructor, I am already well versed in the daily and semester operations of the Institute.
"As you know I am currently on the Staff as Part Time Instructor, and I have already demonstrated many of the skills required for the position."
My flight training is broad and extends outside of the Institute of Aviation’s training program. With over 300 hours, I have trained and flown in Piper, Diamond, and Cessna aircraft. While I feel the training I have received at the Institute is second to none, my additional part 61 training has exposed me to a wealth of dynamic flight environments which only increases my understanding of aviation. I am dedicated to sharing this knowledge with students.
I would strike all this, except the part about how many hours you have and what aircraft you have experience in. Unless you intend to mention specifics, then drop the subject. Speaking broadly about unspecified experience sounds fishy.
I am confident that the outstanding instruction I have received at the Institute of Aviation, and part 61 environments, will make me a valuable asset to your team of instructors.
How about, "My studies at Institute of Aviation has prepared me for this role. I fell certain I will be an asset to your team of instructors."
Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to interviewing with you in the near future.
Keep the remaining words as is. Good luck!
