Becoming Unrestricted
I am currently a restricted FI(A). I'm having no problem getting the hours in, currently on about 50, but I'm really struggling with the solo sign offs.
I just want to confirm if signing someone off for solo when they have passed their PPL test but not yet received their licence counts towards the 25 required. They don't have a licence, and can't carry passengers, so I'm thinking it counts as a regular solo sign off.
Also, can I get an aerobatic instructor rating and teach aerobatics while still restricted?
