Huh, I did down wind quick stops during my FAA private training, and 360 autos I got to do at the Robinson course (along with pedal turns and autoing sideways/backwards, etc.) also had a cfi show me stuck pedal recovery when I was still under 100 hours,...big deal!
Anyway, you got it wrong, here in the States its the cfi rating that is the "license to learn", our cpl?
...all that'll get you is a cup of coffee at Starbucks,...well after you pay them six bucks!
