74 - (1) Subject to paragraph (2), a person shall not act as a member of the flight crew of an aircraft registered in the United Kingdom if at the beginning of the flight the aggregate of all his previous flight times:
(a) during the period of 28 consecutive days expiring at the end of the day on which the flight begins exceeds 100 hours; or
(b) during the period of twelve months expiring at the end of the previous month exceeds 900 hours.
(2)
(a) This article shall not apply to a flight made in circumstances specified in sub-paragraph (b).
(b)
(i) A private flight in an aircraft of which the maximum total weight does not exceed 1600 kg; or
(ii) a flight which is not for the purpose of public transport and is not operated by an air transport undertaking where, at the time when the flight begins, the aggregate of all the flight times of the member of the flight crew concerned since he was last medically examined and found fit by a person approved by the CAA for the purpose of article 26(2) does not exceed 25 hours.
Yep know this one.
The exuse used is that the flight isn't public transport so section (2) is being invoked therefore there are no 28 day limits for instructors. The 900 hours does apply apparently depending on who you talk to. Some say you need to get an AME extenstion every 25 hours after 900 some don't. Same for photography they can fly 12 hours a day all summer if required and still be legal.
Yet another grey area.
What your actually fit for after more than 100hrs instructing in 28 days is up for debate. I know this will only effect certain types of school with large contracts or monoploy markets.But i should imagine welshpool in its day would have had instructors doing similar amounts of hours. WWW?
