Instructor Dress?

Just curious what type of dress or uniform you wear when instructing.......are you at a college type FTU, small FTU/charter outfit in the boonies? Do you have a preference? Were you issued any company uniform items?

It's a flying club that I work at.

In the winter, the dress is white pilot shirt, tie and black pants.

In the summer, it's golf shirts that we're given, and pants or shorts when it's really hot.

Denim dress shirt with company logo, Khaki pants or shorts in summer, and appropriate footwear.

i wear whatever i can steal. I stole my shirt today from a guy named frank and my underwear once belonged to a homeless guy who lived under a bridge. HE smelled like cheese, nice guy, but always smeeled like cheese

Sounds good........I'm at a 3 a/c, 3 person company doing training & charters, we generally wear normal everyday clean clothing and receive a couple company shirts, 1 golf, 1 tshirt.......combine that with respectable pants/jeans/ or shorts.

I have worked with the full airline style uniform (minus the gold bars thankfully) but was never really a fan of it, a little overkill for teaching a majority of rec / private students.

they gave you shirts, man we have to buy shirts if we want/choose to wear the company shirts. So... no.

You said "Instructor Dress" and you know white shirts were the last thing on my mind.

At least the colours are right for some of you guys

The place I used to instruct at had us wear the "airline" style attire (minus the bars!) in the winter and golf shirts with navy blue pants in the summer. Wasn't all that bad, the company covered all the costs for the uniforms.

6 aircraft, 6 staff - we wear navy company logo golf shirts and clean shorts/pants and sandals/shoes as weather dictates. Looks pretty good and makes for a relaxed yet somewhat professional appearance. We just got these company shirts because it was hard to differentiate between instructors and students

...oh and we had to pay for half of our shirts

tie/shirt/dress pants/bars = WAY overkill IMHO

White shirts and black pants. They aren't too picky, as long as you look respectable.

I'd like to see the traditional look come back!

Ok Yoyoma but I draw the line if you want them to instruct on traditional airplanes (read Stearman or anything else where they have to climb over the edge of the cockpit).

When I instructed it was a golf shirt and whatever pants. Most of the guys made it look pretty bad actually. It would have been gay to wear airline uniforms. I feel kinda proud to wear one now, but it would have taken away from getting one at first airline job. I saw the guys at the edmonton flying club wear full uniform, bars and everything (sheesh

) What the hell is that. So if your a class 4 you get for bars and if you are a class one you get one! GO FLIGHT ATTENDANT BARS! other that that as long as it doesnt cost the pilot anything it's fine by me.

You ever fly a Kitana yoyma??? That traditional look just WOULD NOT WORK with the stick....

Could dfinately make for some awkward student/instructor moments, almost akin to pervert priest/altar boy styles.

The place where I fly even the students have to follow a dres code.... no shorts even in the summer, 'appropriate footwear'. Not very comfortable on crosscountries.

I'm wishing for company t-shirts and shorts with sandals right now.
