Abolish CPL exams
Yes I think that if they do away with the CPL licence requirement for FIs then they may as well bin the CPL exams. (NO one would bother)
It will go back to just needing the PPL exams in order to teach the PPL - exams done locally at the club house (no need to worry about all the hassle of the doing a formal exam) - you would just have to have a chat to the FIE after doing the FI course
Most of the money in flight instruction at PPL level goes to the person that owns the club and aircraft - the return of the PPL/FI is a must for them - they resent shelling out to people for instructing and they hate the idea that someone may want a career with decent money in flying - its this group of people so called 'industry stakeholders' that form the bulk of the lobby groups wanting to return to the old days - its vested interest dressed up dont be fooled...
