I have 1500 hrs TT

Roughly 900 or so I've counted as Instruction. I hope to reach 1000 soon in order to be elegible for DFTE.

The remaining 600, minus 200 for Commercial License, leaves 400 hrs of doing other flying, mostly charter/tour.

I personally will continue to instruct for hopefully another few thousand hours over my career as something to do on the side, such as freelance, once I leave my full time CFI position and move onto something else. I've gone this far, there's no reason to stop instructing even after I start flying two crew or whatever is next, since it's an extra source of income I can do in my spare time, plus I like it.

900 TT and started instructing around 350 in feb 2012. Since then I've done maybe 10-20 hours of non-instructional time between scenic flights and fun flights for myself/family.
