I'm a FI with IMC rating (haven't got time or money to get an IR, or inclination/need as a career FI) and thinking about doing the instrument instruction restriction removal to teach for the IMC. I had thought about delaying that due to the issues with the potential future of the IMC. However, I have just realised that with EASA FCL the current exemption on the pre-entry and revalidation requirements for FI(IRI) IMC holding instructors and IMC teaching only might disappear - even if the IMC rating remains. Indeed looking back at the EASA NPAs it looks like any FIs in the future would have to have and maintain a full IR and have 800hrs IFR to get the FI(IRI) bit and teach for the IMC. I wondered if anyone else had thought about this - I'm certainly thinking that I want to get the instrument instruction removal done pretty quick, but will I keep this privelege under EASA if I just maintain an IMC rating?

ps - also noticed in the EASA NPA (now closed!) that aerobatic instructors just need to have 20hrs aeroabtics experience, no mention of formal training like now.
