Hands_on123, what is that makes you think that you should be able to teach someone how to fly with 200 hours?. The rules say you can I know but in the real world mate that is ridiculous. You don't know how to fly yourself. No offence intended but if you are a competent enough pilot to teach others with 200 hours you're the only one in the history of the world. Do the hard yards mate and get a job and do your hours and get some experience first before trying to pass on knowledge you don't have. Instrument flying in helicopters in particular takes a lot of practice and experience before you can even get close to the stage of passing on any knowledge. The workload in IMC triples mate and there are a lot of things that IF experience needs to teach you before being competent enough to get yourself around let alone trying to teach someone else. However, it obviously does happen, I don't know how it's allowed but if that's the way you want to do it mate, go for it and good luck.
