A CPL FI may get less hands on than a PPL FI.

The average FI flies a lot of trial lessons in which you are flying a fair bit and even with students you demonstrate actions for them to practise. Even if you're not hands on you are in command and you do pick up a lot from others mistakes. It will make you understand a lot about how aeroplanes fly.


How much hands on does the average airline pilot get?
