the FI(LAPL) is not granted any priviledge to instruct for a Night Rating!
Not so.
At the 2015 LAPL Review Board meeting, in response to a query posed by DGAC (France), it was confirmed by EASA that a 'LAPL-only' FI
may provide flight instruction for a LAPL holder to include additional ratings in the licence - e.g. Night, Aerobatic or Mountain ratings. The 'LAPL-only' FI has to meet the same requirements as other FIs to be qualified provide such training, but does not have to meet CPL knowledge requirements. He/she may also conduct differences training for LAPL holders.
There is an action item on this requiring RMT.0596 to clarify the existing sections of SubPart J to make this clear.
