I guess the aerobatic FI rating allows you to train and issue the AOPA certificate???
As I understand it......
As a commercial pilot, I can just start teaching aerobatics, for financial reward to qualified pilots. If I do the CRI I can teach tailwheel conversions, again for money. But without a FI rating I cannot take "Trial flights" (Punters for 20 min aero trip)
