As I understand the JAR system, if you were an FI with the applied instrument restriction removed , you could teach to the rating held. If you have an IR you can teach to that if you have an IMC but not an IR you can teach to only the IMC. I dont have an IR so can teach only to the IMC stage, and have taught to CPL as you do not need an IR to do this, but 500 hours as a FI and be approved by the school under their approvals with the blessing from the CAA.
But looking at the new EASA rules I cant see where the future IR instructors will come from with 200 actual IF requirement.
But at least I think can I continue to get my students through IMC courses until 2014.
