I was looking into becoming an instructor and this was one angle of obvious interest . I have done some digging but the general consensus is that it wont be an option anytime soon , I have yet to see any info to the contrary. However if anyone can provide some gen as to a time scale and possible implementation dates for this I would be interested, Although I feel that the CPL/FI(R) is still going to be the way to go I find it interesting that the new instructors would only be able to teach for the nppl . As Whopity says it is not exactly a sought after qual . From the instructors here , I am aware that the Nppl has a lower hourly requirment than the PPL but what exactly is taken out of the PPL syllabus that a new instructor would not be able to teach as part of a PPL course , if you catch my drift . At the end of the day an NPPL student still has to learn to aviate ,navigate, communicate . Or doesnt he/she?????
