Because the only people who should be teaching the teachers are professionally qualified pilots. Those who have demonstrated by passing a multitude of exams and skills tests that they have the necessary technical knowledge and flying ability to teach people to instruct.
The scenario we have above is that somebody could do a LAFI rating, then work at a club doing a couple of trial lessons each Sunday and after 3 years and a couple of hundred hours of Instructional time be teaching on the LAFI course which is a complete load of horlicks.
I mentioned the above to an FIE yesterday and his reply was "expect mushroom shaped cloud in the megaton range to form over b*ll!!!! castle".
I have just been looking at LASORS but I cant find where the current requirements to become a Fl Course Instructor are. Did however find FIE. Anyone point me in the right direction?
