Say Again Slowly...
So what would you consider the main duties of an FI to be then?
1) Teach PPL ground school
2) Teach PPL flight exercises
3) Teach IMC/Night flight exercises
4) Trial Flights
5) SEP conversions (eg PA28 to C172)
6) Club Currency Checkouts
7) Differencies Training
8) "One hour with instructor" flight for renewal
9) PPL renewal and revalidation flights
From this list the only ones I can't do are 2,3 & 4. Also if I am doing some of the others then that frees up the FI to do the lessons, likewise with the ground school.
I know it is very much dependent on the school, guess the only way to answer my question is to talk to the local schools!
Thanks
