Restricted Unrestricted Flight Instructor - huh ?
Im hoping for some advice please fellow aviators.
I'm waiting for the CAA to issue my licence. (8 weeks and counting .. ) but that's another story. I have asked them to issue my Flight Instructor rating to reflect my experience, ie, unrestricted as I have previously met these requirements through teaching in another country.
The lady at the CAA, after conferring with her colleague in Tech support, today told me that providing requirements Part-FCL 910 FI have been met, I will be issued with an EASA 'unrestricted restricted FI rating' - which she says is a gateway to taking an abbreviated course to get a fully unrestricted EASA FI rating.
I would really appreciate knowing whether this person is talking utter nonsense - or has anyone actually heard of such a thing as a Restricted Unrestricted FI Rating?
Thanks in advance
