Teaching the PPL skill set is not rocket science and well within the capabilties of a realtively low houred CPL. The important thing for the new instructor is to park their ego at home and realise just because they finished the integrated course and have frozen ATPL they still have alot to learn about flying.
Well said, Sir.
It is character and application, amongst other things, that makes a good instructor. There may be something wrong with the system, but the authority (in their infinite wisdom) has set those requirements based on what
they perceive as sensible.
Interestingly, do we have 'limits' that we impose over and above the authority minimum, or do we accept all comers that we consider suitable after the Pre Course ride?
