Overview
Leading Edge Aviation is recruiting a full-time FIC-approved Flight Instructor at its Oxford campus. The position develops and standardises instructors in the United Kingdom and Spain, delivers training toward instructor certificates and upgrades, and also provides multi-engine flight and simulator instruction to integrated and modular students.
