Sucks right? On paper they do allow PPL holders to be instructors but in the other hand they are putting a stop to it. Anyway i heard from 2007, all Instructors will eventually have to be CPL holders. So tough luck.
What are the requirements for AFI rating for CPL/fATPL holders? Also 150hrs PIC?
If that's the case, then after spending so much money on the CPL course, we will still need to fly extra hours on our own expense to reach 150 hrs PIC before qualifying for the AFI rating course? Am I correct?
Or can we go straight into the AFI course after the CPL course?
Thanks.
