thats yet another theory on how to read that section.

And it was also a question in the Q&A session by my FIE.

And quoted the 100hrs every 28days 900hrs a year stuff and was told I was wrong I only had to comply with 900hrs a year.

So if the Flight Instructor Examiners aren't getting it right there is not much of a hope for a FI getting it right.

We could have a laugh and email the CAA I suppose for a written answer but i suspect they won't comment.

The only further FTL I would like is a duty time period in the school and also an enforcement of rest days. ie not starting at 7am then flying all day then having to work until 10pm doing ground school to then again start at 7am and then repeat 7 days a week. And its more for the protection of low hour Instructors who can and will work every hour under the sun and moon to get hours in the log book. So maybe a 3 rest days in 14 days rolling. Max 12hr shift followed by min 12 hour rest. 100hrs a month I can live with, and it should be published so no argument can be entered into through those Instructor mags we get every quarter, and 900hrs a year stands.

In fact if there are any CAA bods reading why not send it out with the next one before the summer season is under full swing.

I think the FAA has FTL's for instructors. When I did my PPL in FL I remember my instructor got sent home due to FTL's and he also wasn't allowed to fly more than x hours a day.
