Where a flight instructor can go next
5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a flight instructor already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.
Flight instructors train both new and experienced pilots seeking to gain licences or experience in flying new aircraft, how to properly operate an aircraft according to regulations. They teach their students both the theory and practice of how to optimally fly and maintain an airplane, and they observe and evaluate student technique. They also focus on the regulations relating to operational and safety procedures specific to different (commercial) airline aircraft.

How these figures were compiled
Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a flight instructor already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
