JAA Flying Instructor Requirements
My understanding is that to obtain a current JAA FI rating (on a JAA PPL) you need to show CPL level knowledge which basically means taking the JAA CPL or ATPL ground exams. I was wondering if the JAA accept an FAA CPL as "Relevant CPL knowledge" or if it had to be the JAA Exams.
Has anybody got round this knowledge requirement without taking the exams e.g experience/job related training / Motor Glider instructor /degree Aero eng etc. I understand a high level of knowledge is required but to me it seems a little excessive to have to sit CPL exams just to be able to instruct at weekends on a PPL (unpaid).
Thanks
