flight instructor
Aviation skills teacher
A flight instructor is a pilot certified to teach others how to fly aircraft.
Flight instructors provide ground school education and in-flight training, guiding students through maneuvers, emergency procedures, and navigation until they're ready to solo and eventually earn their own licenses.
My flight instructor signed off on my first solo after fifteen hours.
