    I used him for several of my BFR and if I recall correctly his CFI rate was around $50 an hour which is the prevailing rate in the area. He wasn’t doing it to make money, I think his primary motivation was the love of flying.

He recently retired at 80+ years of age with 60+ years of flight.
    He was 100% skirting the rules. Had something happened he'd be screwed. The refs are clear on this.
