Thanks for the reply RTN! I want to do the CPL for a variety of reasons! One for my own credibility and also because i would like to have the option to potentially teach CPL in the future! ............
I can't see anything in CAP 804 that prevents a PPL FI(A) from instructing for the issue of a CPL.
"
FCL.905.FI FI – Privileges and conditions
The privileges of an FI are to conduct flight instruction for the issue, revalidation or renewal of:
(a) a PPL, SPL, BPL and LAPL in the appropriate aircraft category;
(b) class and type ratings for single-pilot, single-engine aircraft, except for singlepilot high performance complex aeroplanes; class and group extensions for balloons and class extensions for sailplanes;
(c) type ratings for single or multi-pilot airship;
(d) a CPL in the appropriate aircraft category, provided that the FI has completed at least 500 hours of flight time as a pilot on that aircraft category, including at least
200 hours of flight instruction;"
Am I missing something?
