That sounds about right... Insurance minimums for Turbine aircraft can be really high. I can't even imagine what they must be with student pilots flying them. It sure would be an interesting way to build up Turbine PIC time.

10 hrs of line oriented training then 10 hrs of emergency situations per student.
Stalls, steep turns, slow flight, single eng landing, single engine go around, approaches, single engine approaches, normal landings, flapless landings, and go arounds in a nutshell...

It wouldn't matter if you have 20hrs in a b200. We have guys that have been ex-135 check airmen with thousands of hrs in king air time but aren't in it or prolly won't even touch it because of teaching ability with the Chinese.

Interesting way to build turbine time? You bet your a** it is. This isn't single pilot king air time, it's less than that. The guy next to you for a lot of the curriculum is just a distraction. So yes, due to the maneuvers and difficulty of the curriculum on top of the student issues, there is an extraordinary amount consideration and evaluation that goes on when selecting KA pilots. Impossible? Certainly not, I don't believe that I nor anyone else flying the thing has any extra ability or intelligence than most everyone else. Maturity although is another thing...

Cheers

Thanks for the insight... I've been considering a move to TX next year because my gf has a lot of family there and I've just been keeping an open eye for some jobs available.

Spot on post, but fixed a few words to clearly emphasize the point.

Another possible teaching job is at the 141 school at Texas State Technical College in Waco Texas (CNW). Junior college but has some negatives- school out you don't teach much. Good bennies though. Working for the state you get good insurance and if rated you can go down to Austin to the State Aircraft Pooling Board and get some turbine time.

Does anyone know if they have ever hired a foreign CFI?

They have.
-almost certain anyway.

Hey,thanks for the info... I hope to be one of them one day!

Yes as long as you have a work visa I believe. I wanna say that there is one guy who is sponsored through the school.

For those interested in USAA, I'm one of 8 new hires who just finished standards week in Denton this week. From what i've been able to see so far, this place is great for those looking to build time fast! The language barrier on either side (contract/international) looks pretty intense but i'll be treating it as a learning experience. Instructors here fly a LOT, i think the average we were told was 100 a month. Standards was fast paced and informative, I feel prepared after a week of class work. They do appear to be hurting for instructors due to the amount of instructors leaving(built time and moved on)/ and the amount of students coming in. I'm pretty sure they had students assigned to all of us the day we got here, just had to pass through stans/written/checkout flight. Overall, seems like a good place to be(disclaimer: again, i'm a new hire) but the staff seems very chill, instructors build time fast, and you get your eyes opened by flying around the dallas/ft.worth bravo with students whose english skills may be (are) questionable. Ill post an update when i've been here a little longer and have become properly jaded.
