*****Disclaimer, I am not very well versed in CAA/JAR regulations******
As I understand it, one CAA qualified Instructor(Unrestricted) can supervise up to 7 non-CAA qualified Instructors.
Some time ago CAA land would also allow you to instruct on a PPL if I'm not mistaken.
In the US it has always been a CPL-IR required for a FI.
So why can't we have reciprocal rights to teach FAA in UK ?? Hey that would even the playing field a bit !
As far as I know, this has always been possible under CFR Part 61, without any special permission or authorization like the CAA requires.
The problem has always been FAA examiners. The FAA head office used to send examiners over to Europe, now you have to pay for one out of pocket.
If you can even find one willing to do it. It still happens on rare occasions.
So why can't we have reciprocal rights to teach FAA in UK
It is fairly pointless, CAA instructing in the US is taking place because of the lower cost for the student. While they are here they might as well do the FAA PPL also, go home dual rated.
