Flying Instructor - can you do it with a class 2, or restricted class 1?
When I started flying, it was always my intention to progress to instructor level.
However, because of quite a rare condition, I can't hold a full class 1 medical, (initially had quite a job getting the class 2, but went OK in the end).
I've heard from various sources that you CAN actually instruct on a class 2 medical, but unrenumerated. Also, I've heard that you may also be issued with a RESTRICTED class 1, which would enable you to instruct, but obviously not to fly as a commercial pilot.
I'd be very grateful if anybody could explain to me what sort of position the above two choices, (if valid), leaves me in: I've tried the search facility for this, but cannot get any explanations.
Thanks a lot
