We've just had our (PT CofA) aircraft avionics upgraded to FM Immune IFR fit in order that the remainder of the group can undertake IMC training
A misunderstaning here.
Instructors cannot be paid to instruct,
for the purpose of enabling a pilot to become qualified for the grant of a licence or to include or vary any rating, on group-owned aeroplanes
that are not maintained to public transport airworthiness requirements.
AIC 48/2006 provides an exemption for remunerated flying instruction in group-owned aeroplanes not maintained to public transport requirements, but only where the pilot under training holds a licence entitling him/her to act as P.I.C., or which would so entitle them except that the licence does not bear a valid certificate of test, experience or revalidation and the purpose of the flight is to obtain such.
