Having just ploughed my way through the latest EASA NPA 2008-17b when it come to the suggested rules on flying instructors (subpart J) my reading of the proposal is as follows:
FCL.905/910/915 930/935/940 Specific requirements for the light aircraft flight instructor would indicate that indeed you can instruct with just a PPL (200 hours and then do course) HOWEVER it only enables you to teach for the LPL leisure pilot licence (old nppl ?)
FCL905FI/910FI/915FI/935FI/940FI would seem to indicate if you wish to teach PPL etc then you need a CPL still.
However FCL205A (page 19/647) Privileges of a PPL (A) states that the holder of a PPL(a) may receive renumeration for providing flight instruction for the provision of a LPL(a) OR PPL(a)
yet the requirements to attend a FI Course FCL915FI (page51/647) state you need a CPL .....so how do you get an instructors rating just with a PPL ??
I know it is not easy reading but if anyone else has read this (or has the inclination to !) I would be interested in how they interpret the proposal.
