We're Looking for a Tailwheel CFI
There's something special about tailwheel flying. The focus it demands, the skill it builds, and the pure joy of mastering an airplane the way pilots have done it for generations. At Safety In Motion Flight Center, we get to experience that every day, and we're looking for a Certified Flight Instructor who feels the same way.
We're hiring a full or part-time Tailwheel CFI to join our team at Pierce County Airport/Thun Field (KPLU) in Puyallup, WA. You'll be instructing aboard our iconic 1938 Piper Cub. One of the most beloved training aircraft ever built. Within a structured, supportive, and professional flight training environment.
Whether you're building hours toward an airline career or passionate about a long-term career in flight instruction, Safety In Motion Flight Center — recognized as the Pacific Northwest's leader in Flight Training — is the place to grow.
What we're looking for:
Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) with 50+ hours of tailwheel time
A love for stick-and-rudder flying and sharing that passion with students
What you'll get:
Flexible, self-managed schedule
Medical, vision & dental benefits (full-time)
Professional development discounts on advanced Flight Training
A team that loves aviation as much as you do
