From: Quite near 'An aerodrome somewhere in England'
So such organisations should stop the 'trial lesson' pretence and become bona fide AOC-holding organisations offering joy rides. Little Lord 4 ring-Cessna pilot can then impress such punters to his heart's content quite legally.

Whereas it is most certainly intended that some PPL-level flight instruction will certainly be conducted by non-CPL holders in the future and that they will also be entitled to receive remuneration for this.

"The use of PPL instructors in the Corporate operation is criminal abuse of the system.
It undermines the CPL instructor who has had to spend in the region of £20000+ to qualify and maintain licences."


Utter nonsense. The ability to impart flight instruction in an airborne environment is the main requirement. Own flying skill, experience and spare capacity are also important of course, as are sound interpersonal skills. Whereas knowing how many stewardesses are required in a 747 is utterly irrelevant.
