The BCPL and CPL knowledge requirement.
Dear Whopity,
First of all, thank you for your reply to my post.
As you know, at present an intending FI has either;
a) to possess a full CPL (if he/she wants to be paid for his/her services as an instructor,) or
b) must at least have passed the CPL groundschool exams (if he/she doesn't wish to be paid).
From what you have written, clearly, this has a history founded in two entirely separate issues, namely;
i) the requirements of ICAO Annex 1 regarding a person's legal eligibility to train as an instructor per se, and
ii) the person's eligibility to receive payment for working as an instructor once having obtained the necessary rating.
I should like to be able to read up the history to this situation, in regard to both i) and ii) above.
Do you please know of any journal articles, books or other sources that I might look up to learn what the thinking was that led to the present situation?
