But it isn't legal for him to teach civilian pilots, of unknown aptitude, to fly aerobatics without having first gained the relevant civil qualifications.
Yes, we know that is your
opinion, Beagle, but where is the legislation?
Here's another question - JAR-FCL 1.330 lists the privileges of a JAA Flight Instructor. Can you point out where the privilege to teach aerobatics is included?
BillieBob, your JAR-FCL licence is now deemed to be a part-FCL licence and is no longer regulates under the ANO. See CAP 804.
This will be the CAP 804 that takes effect from 17 September 2012, will it?
Blagger - I will log PIC, the other pilot may enter in his logbook anything he wishes but will not be able to claim the time towards the issue of a licence or rating. Since there is (as yet) no aerobatic rating, this is not great issue.
