FI(R) and CFI
A couple of questions.
Is there any advantage to obtaining a CRI as the same time as an FI(R)? For example being able to do refresher training on people outside of an ATO DTO environment and not requiring to be under the supervision of an FI?
The rules seem to suggest that in applying for a CRI an FI only exempts you from the Teaching and Learning element, not the flying or the groundschool. Surely this doesn’t make sense. Can you apply for an FI(R) and a CRI simultaneously based on the same course?
