Locally, the *charge* is $25/hr. I don't know how much if any of that
the airport keeps back.

Most instructors locally don't charge for ground time, which often
doubles the time they spend with a student. When I went for an XC
flight, my instructor would drive up from MA, say 150 miles
round-trip, and sit around the airport until I got back, for no pay.

Of course he is retired, which may give him a more relaxed attitude
toward the profession.

Can anyone tell me what a typical CFI gets paid? More specifically,
what a full time CFI in a local flight school can expect to get paid?
Just a WAG would be sufficient.

Thanks,
