Capt Havok
Yes he has to
demonstrate competency in all the elements in the Part 61 Manual of Standards
He has to show that he can
teach all the elements in the MOS
He has to demonstrate that he can
assess all the elements in the MOS
He has to provide written
evidence that the student has achieved competency in all the elements in the MOS
He has to have a Single engine <5700 kg type rating
He just has to do what every other civvie instructor has had to do, whatever their background. I didn't know that "Top Gun" was actually a thing in Australia but it doesn't sound like something that would fit in comfortably in a busy GA flying school. Maybe in the cinema, or propping up an aero club bar, but Top Gun? Really?? Because don't we all just love having people around those of us who are not worthy, who have been waved through and given special privileges?
If he wasn't aware of how things work then perhaps this would have been a good place to start.
