Just a thought for all you potential national licence instructors, who are holding off doing the CPL exams. At present the FI(R) course prepares you to start learning how to teach, you will only learn how when you start doing it for real. The CPL gets your flying knowledge and skill to the point where you should at least have a little spare mental capacity to teach whilst you are flying.
If the need for a CPL is scrapped for teaching the national licence I'm sure the CAA will be looking for a shed load of flying experience and the crystal ball says 700 hrs, or am I confusing that with the hrs needed for the issue of a CPL.
