PPL+CFI = why?
LASORS seems to indicate that a PPL can instruct (for PPL) but not receive payment for it. It also says that instruction by a CPL+CFI is required towards the gaining of a licence. Is this a contradiction?
If someone was "taught" by a PPL, does that mean the hours are loggable as student pilot, but are not counted in the 45 minimum for a PPL?
LASORS also says that a PPL can gain a CFI qualification and can instruct (presumably if the previous answer is 'yes' then the student's hours can now be logged towards the 45 minimum), but why would anyone gain a PPL+CFI without a CPL? The only reason I can think of is to train family members, like a parent might teach their kids to drive, but couldn't take payment from the public for the same?
Am I understanding it correctly?
