hi
I, too, am interested in becoming a flight instructor. Although I am only 35 hours into my PPL, I am not actually too bothered about airline jobs. Not for now anyway.

Correct me if I am wrong. Is this the correct path to gain a FI qualification ?
PPL + 150 hours
CPL
FI rating

I wouldn't touch the IR (too expensive) but would consider an IMC rating to be a bit more flexible with clouds and "elements".

Does it sound reasonable ?

thanks for your help
