One way to increase your flight time and gain experience is to become a flight instructor.

Flight instructor is often the first job a commercial pilot has. A certified flight instructor (CFI) is responsible for all aspects of training students. While teaching, you can log hours as flight time and get paid for the hours. The focus of our CFI program is to train you to become a considerate and thoughtful flight instructor who can motivate and inspire students.
