It is the supervising FI that makes the recomendation not the CFI (unless they are doing the supervision).
People who do not demonstrate the required standard should not be recomended;
This applies just as much to the Student with 45 hours but not demonstrating the required standard not being recomended fro PPL flight test as it does to the restricted FI who has the required hours and solo supervisions to be released.
Provided that appropriate supervision and guidance is provided to the new instructor once it is explained to them where they need to improve and how that is to be acheived they should not have a problem. If they do then that tells a whole story in itself.
Blagger, are you the type of person who thinks that every student sould get a licence at 45 hours regardless of ability? If No then why do you believe that restricted instructors should have the restriction removed despite a clear lack of ability?
Standards anyone?
