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 with a few hours spare each week, this could be a rewarding and enjoyable next step in your aviation journey and with BYP paying up to £75 per hour, it’s a useful income stream too!
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 of any age.
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.
Senior Flying Instructor Vacancy

BYP is a national organisation with a mission to get young people into flying.
We partner with flying schools across the UK but we also have our own aircraft at BYP’s home at Membury Airfield - just off the M4 between Newbury and Swindon. We run our flying ops as a non-profit allowing us to get as many young people flying as possible.
To Apply or find out more about the job, contact Patrick on 07774010010 or email patrick@britishyoungpilots.com
We are looking for a qualified flying instructor to lead operations at Membury.
The nature of our students means that most of our flying is done at weekends - whilst that means there’s a lot of weekend work, we have various part-time instructors in the team so you don’t have to work every weekend.
The majority of BYP training is conducted on microlights - mostly C42’s so you should either be a BMAA instructor or an FI who is happy to teach on 3 axis microlight.
Although it’s not our core focus, we do have plenty of capacity to operate as a regular flying school teaching adults to fly, notably mid-week when BYP students are at school/college!
