I can't see how that worked. In my experience the only flying that instructors ever do is instructing, so if you passed your FI test on a 172 and needed 30hrs on type to instruct on anything else, you would remain a 172 instructor for life. What flying school owner is going to pay you to bimble around for 30hrs just so you can instruct on his new aircraft?
S&L: You clearly have some insight into the JAAnglish spoken by the Hoofddorpians who draft NPAs. Glad to hear that this will only apply to type rating training. As for the anomaly that JAR-FCL 1.330 requires 15hrs (in the last 12 months!) but 1.325 has no such requirement, since this only relates to type ratings it's highly unlikely to apply anyway - how many FI(R)s are teaching the PPL on a type-rated aircraft?
5 hrs on type recommended by CAA - where does that appear? News to me.
