PPL Instructors
I've been following this thread with some interest and noted the various views expressed.I think at long last with the most recent posts by SOTV,bose-x and wicker man we are starting to get to the nub of the matter.Surely the key to the whole of this debate is a person's ability to teach allied to sufficient knowledge and experience to ensure that any student is safe in the basic skills and has the theoretical and practical knowledge to understand the wider environment in which they will eventually exercise the privileges of their licence.Whilst I am fully of the view that the need for a CPL as a formal qualification is way over the top in terms of content we maybe ought to be looking at a more rigorous examination of the PPL level theoretical knowledge requirements as part of the FI course.
