Another nugget (not sure if it's true) is that such an instructor, having got his BCPL, now has a "CPL" for the purpose of having an IMC Rating (every UK - not JAA - CPL or ATPL has automatic IMCR privileges) so he can teach the IMCR without ever had any instrument training himself. I am pretty sure I had one such instructor - he had never held more than a PPL
It's not true. Anyone who qualified under the 'old' rules would have needed an IMC rating to have the AFI rating issued.
