Airstart as part of 509? Never knew that. In which case things are a wee bit silly. A 509'er is supposed to be being prepared to go straight into airline ops where, forgive my ignorance, air starts are not likely to be required in 20 lifetimes of flying. Whereas being trained to be a FI is leading you to a situation where an air start during just one lifetime career is possible to likely.
Seems an anomaly to me.
