EASA aerobatic rating
Hi,
Aerobatics will be regulated under EASA.
Looks like the course for aerobatic rating will involve a minimum of 5 hours flying (FCL.800 Subpart 1).
As for instructing, a CRI will be required (FCL.905 CRI CRI)-With or without an FI(A)- unless like in some countries where it already exists (France) the aerobatic instructor rating should be converted, which at the time it is not.
I have inquired in Switzerland (EASA since 9 april 2012) about the CRI in question and have been told by CAA that there is no relevant EASA complyant course in this respects yet.
Does anyone know something about this forthcoming EASA aerobatic CRI course syllabus since it is not described under FCL.905 CRI CRI.
Furthermore it looks like the competence check must be under the supervision of a "Qualified" FI ( Qualified = an FI with 500Hrs instructing).
Does he have to have 500 hours instructing Aeros??? In this case will not be so easy...
Thanks for help !!!!
