Keygrip - re duplicate postings
As this will be of interest to both Private Pilots and Instructors this poses a dilemma. Not all Instructors read the Private forum, and vice versa I thus duplicated it. Seriously, what do you suggest?
<<edit: I 100% agree with the demographics dillema - so, post in both, but put a link in one of them taking the reader to the other one - then you only get one set of answers>>
IO540 - you are correct in your assumptions about my profile. As to my sources they are the recent article in the AOPA GA magazine about "FAA training opening a can of worms", and a meeting with an Investigation Officer from the CAA Legal Adviser's Department. PM me if you want the details of how to contact them for further clarification.
FAA IR training: Refer 61.65 Instrument rating requirements: paragraph (d) Aeronautical experience: point (2): A total of 40 hours of actual or simulated instrument time on the areas of operation, to include 15 hours of instrument flight training from an authorized instructor in the aircraft category for which the instrument rating is sought.
Hope that answers the questions, but I am trying to somehow get the message out to fellow aviators about the ins and outs of the situation so neither Instructor or Pilot/owner falls foul of the law and get prosecuted. Thank you for your point about the DfT not needing the instructor details, that's an update I was not aware of. However, I am certain of the fact as far as the CAA advised that article 21 is clear that any non-jaa rated pilot may not give any instruction in any aircraft. If they change their minds subsequently of interpret it differently at a later stage then that will be that.
