I am afraid I may be asking a stupid question (or two) - but I am trying to work out exactly what the difference between FI and CRI are. From LASORS I seem to understand that FI is for the issue of a licence from scratch and a CRI is good for Class rating issue for existing licence holders. Yet a CRI does not need an FI rating???!
What I don't undertsand is why being an FI does not automatically confer the CRI 'ticket'. [given teaching for the SEP class that goes with the PPL]The reason I'm asking for help is that in researching jobs I see that 'FI(A) with CRI' is often being stipulated.
Next stupid question - does the removal of No Applied Instrument instruction restriction confer the 'title' of FI with IRI? - on the assumption that the FI is only teaching for IMC rating and does not himself hold an IR. Or is there a different 'label' From LASORS - it seems that such an instructor can teach for the IR without holding an IR (given 200+ hours of IFR flight time) Am I right in guessing that ads requiring FI(A) IRI are looking for IR qualified instructors not just IMC level instruction??
Can anyone help me with my confusion? Thanks!
