Question on US vs UK Instructing
This question is posed on behalf of a good friend who lives and works in the US.
He is Italian, and has been in the US for a number of years as a Qualified Flight Instructor, and recently CFI. He is interested in coming back to the UK to work as a QFI, but is unsure how to proceed. He has the following ratings :-
CPL
Multi engine
Instrument
Glider
Night
Instructor ratings on the following:-
Single+Multi, Instrument and Glider.
Approx 10K hours, on many types.
In the final stages of ATPL.
Sorry that was so long! The real question is how easy/possible would the conversion be to allow instruction to be given in the UK? Given the current apparent confusion over the JAA, where can I find more info on what he needs to do. Any ideas or comments you have would be appreciated.
