Spectrum Airways

[almostbutnotquite]

Did anyone of you go to Spectrum Airways for training? How was your experience? How often do they hire flight instructors? Is there a big chance to be hired as one upon completion of instructor rating?

Thanks in advance!

i used to rent there and noticed most instructors were internally trained so that could still hold true. it's a good location but their legacy skyhawks were in rough shape and i even seen a Transport Examiner that was critical about the condition of an aircraft.

Was the aircraft airworthy?

They have new gen 172s mostly now..also they hire from with in as much as they can.

there's definitely better places to go instruct....$21 a hour starting for a Class 3 pretty pathetic.
All the FTU's are looking for instructors right now. Do yourself a favor and visit some of them before singing up with Spectrum.

Towerwind,

Spectrum Airways pays $21/hr for class 3 instructors. You get paid for the time you bill students (PGI, DUAL), no extras (Night Rating Solo Supervision not paid, 16 hrs a month "pilot duty" desk job not paid).

Busy flight school good for building time, but low income.
