IR could make the difference
Beags
If, as is quite often the case with many instructors nowadays the instructor has an IR (current).
Wouldn't FFF then be able to be RHS PIC for someone already holding a Night qual or rating (licence dependant) whilst he/she (stude) fulfilled the requirement in order to regain night currency again?
Failing that FFF if you do not have an IR it costs about £200 to get your no night restriction lifted from your licence and can be done in 2 nights fairly easily by a suitably qualified FIC instructor or better.
