It is posible to provide JAA instruction when holding just a PPL and Flight Instructor Rating provided that there is no payment made for the flight instruction

For example-

A Another Flying Club Have a PA28.

They offer the aircraft at £100 for PPL hire and £150 Dual.

If the instructor provided by the Club only has a PPL then the club can only charge the student £100 per hour for dual training. i.e. They can not charge for the training because the training provided (by a PPL) can not be charged for.

Thus with a mix of PPL and CPL instructors, they have to offer different rates depending on which instructor you fly with.

With that in mind I know who I would be flying with.

However, in some organisations they charge the same rate and simply gloss over the fact that your instructor for today only has a PPL and you are paying more profit into the company's pocket.

Other training providers, professional instructors and the CAA take a dim view of such operations.

So if you are getting a PPL instructor (who can be just as god as a CPL one), make sure that you are not paying anyone for the instruction.
