Synopsis: I got my CFI a year ago and still have not found myself a flying job. I'm trying to find ANY WAY I CAN to advance my career. There are a lot of flight schools about 20 miles south of me. I'm thinking about getting myself an LSA and doing some low cost, independent flight instruction focused on LSA certification, which is not offered at many of those schools. There's a controlled field with a seaport near my house.
I'm thinking of getting my ASES and buying a properly equipped LSA amphibian with a retractable landing gear, within the higher performance set. I figure that way, I could offer an LSA license with ASEL and ASES privileges, the higher performance endorsement and the airspace endorsement all with the one plane. I could also offer affordable ASES add-ons to the students of those other flight schools to make them more marketable. Other possibilities would include recreational, private, instrument and commercial pilot training, scenic flights and aerial photography.
Questions:
-Can I train for all of those things at once? (Out of a controlled field in a "higher max speed" ASEL/ASES LSA)(I know I'd have to go somewhere else for the solo hours)
-Does the higher max speed endorsement have a name?
-Any suggestions on a plane?
-Any suggestions on affordable airplane financing?
-Any other issues or recommendations?
Sorry it was so long, lol.
