It may interest you to know that the CAA answered one e mail promptly. I asked if the practice of allowing me to test candidates for the initial licence would still be allowed, even if I had flown some flights with the candidate during their course. Though this was strictly not allowed under JAR, some leeway was given by HD policy and an e mail detailing the "exposure" included with the licence application. This is not allowed at all under EASA, and it begs the question of an examiner doing trial flights and giving progress checks to potential PPL candidates.
