Agreed, Leafblower has put it in a much more concise context.
My point was RA doesn't teach IF, which is a required item of the PPL and CPL syllabussessesss.

You want to fly at a CPL level, go to CPL instructors at CPL schools.

BTW, I know plenty of GA instructors who have crossed to RA and do teach to the GA level, but I have also had MANY RA students who have had to be restarted from the beginning because their standard of knowledge was absolutely pathetic.

Best was a student who took four lessons to get anywhere near a stall because he kept trying to grab the controls off me to stop the demo.
His first RA instructor thought it would demonstrate what a fantasic pilot he was by putting the Jabiru into a spin as his initial demo for stalling.
