Pilots retire at the very peak of their experience and knowledge. Passing the baton to the next generation and sharing the wisdom and experience you have built through your life’s work is a highly rewarding and life affirming task.

If you are a passionate aviator who’s not ready to hang up the headset just yet, this could be a rewarding and enjoyable next step in your aviation journey.

The Role:

As a BYP instructor you will join the staff of a school and take responsibility for running their BYP affiliated school flying club. You will teach a minimum of two classes each week which typically take place later in the day as a co-curricular after school club. BYP have a structured syllabus with supporting weekly lesson plans but there is plenty of room within the schedule for you to go off piste and gaps to enable field trips.

Commitment:

The minimum level of commitment is just two hours of teaching per week. BYP provide you with everything you need, from initial training when you start right through to weekly lesson plans that fit neatly into the syllabus. We even help you to communicate with your student’s parents with regular updates and newsletters and assist you in liaising with local BYP affiliated flying schools to arrange half termly flights for your students.

Who we’re looking for:

We are looking for people who love aviation and most importantly, are keen to share their love of flying with others.

BYP instructors come from all parts of the aviation world, from commercial airline or military pilots to GA weekend flyers - the key attribute is passion for flight. You should have a good depth of knowledge and the ability to communicate and inspire.

We are keen to hear from:

  • Retired professional pilots

  • Flying instructors or aspiring airline pilots who are are working towards (or already have) and CPL/ATPL license

  • Committed and enthusiastic private pilots

This is more than just a job, you will be joining a growing community of distinguished aviators and you will have plenty of opportunity to fly and talk about flying with fellow BYP instructors.
