The CRI sounds like a very powerful instructor rating considering what you spend and how much you can do with it.
But how much opportunity can a CRI with just a PPL (no CPL) get to instruct per year?
I am thinking, as you can't get paid on a PPL, how would it work if you were a member of a flying club that charges for aircraft rental or air/ground instruction.
And apparently (from what I have read elsewhere) you don't have to be part of a flying organisation to use it. So if you are using it as a part time way to instruct and stay active in GA, how can you advertise your services without being seen to be paid?
