Why make things so complicated? I only mentioned CAP371 because that is the difinitive document regarding flight time limitation, I do know that it only applies to Public Transport Cat. However, what I said regarding hours flown as an instructor are correct Watford, PPL type instructors as far as I know have no limits on them, ANO or not, but CAP509 instructors,which is my particular area of interest (or was, left it now), have greater limits applied, because although they are not Public Transport operators, the CAA want those schools and pilots therein (interesting to note that the CAA do not call instructors at these schools 'instructors', but call them 'pilots') to operate to the same standards as airlines. All this was stated to me by the good ol' CAA themselves, so its from the horses mouth so to speak.
Sorry to go on about this, but I do not like to be called wrong when it was my style of delivery that was wrong.
