From Lasors:
CLASS RATING EXAMINER
(AEROPLANE)
CRE(A) Privileges & Requirements
The privileges of a CRE(A) are to conduct:
a. Skill tests for the issue of class and type ratings for
single-pilot aeroplanes.
b. Proficiency checks for revalidation or renewal of
class and type ratings for single-pilot aeroplanes
and revalidation of instrument ratings and IMC
ratings if so authorised by the Authority.
The requirements for issue of a CRE(A) are:
a. A minimum 500 hours as pilot of aeroplanes.
b. Hold or have held a professional pilot aeroplane
licence and hold a PPL(A).
c. Hold a current FI (A) or CRI rating on the appropriate
class or single-pilot type. Where the privilege to
revalidate Instrument Ratings is sought, a CRE
must also hold the qualification to teach applied
instrument flying, either within a current FI (A) rating
or as the holder of a current Instrument Rating
Instructor qualification (IRI).
I'm going to sound dense, but can somebody enlighten me: how does somebody actually become a CRE(A) ? I'm a year or three away from feeling I'm an experienced enough instructor to consider it, but it interests me as a possible role after that.
(I'm also a little surprised that there's no requirement to have a minimum amount of instructional experience, but frankly I'd not try applying for such a thing until I have got a fair number of people through representative tests anyhow - and if I did try too early, I'm sure that somebody somewhere would politely, or impolitely, fail me!)
