Beagle - I am not "inciting" him to do anything. I suspect that he is well capable of making his own judgement.

I am just pointing out (again) the shortcomings of the EASA instructor rating qualification regulations whereby valuable experience is deemed irrelevant and the only pre-requisite to de-restrict an FI(A) qualification is that a budding advanced-level instructor has paid an FTO for yet another "qualification", often taught by "instructors" with less experience than the "student".

Some other administrations around the world (eg Canada, NZ) have a structure whereby once a pilot has proved that he is a competent instructor(by passing an approved FI(A) course and exam) he is then able to teach more advanced skills by demonstrating experience in that skill.

If EASA were to adopt the same pragmatism, it would be much easier for ex-military pilots to pass on their skills to the broader aviation communiity.
