Sorry Whopity, but EASA have had a change of heart and reneged on their promise to do away with the CPL requirement for PPL instructors wishing to be paid for their instruction
Lets not confuse these 2 issues. To obtain a FI rating under EASA then it will be necessary to have CPL level knowledge however a BCPL holder already has a FI rating. Provided it is on a recogniseable licence (JAA) then they can continue to use it. The EU cannot take away existing privileges.

EASA propose allowing PPL holders to be remunerated; it is not subject to having demonstrated CPL level knowledge. If the BCPL holder obtains a JAA PPL with their existing FI rating before EASA is implemented then they will be able to instruct remunerated under EASA. One good reason for doing it early. They also need to hang onto their BCPL(R) to continue instructing remunerated under National rules, until EASA is implemented.
