some elements of the class rating syllabus should sometimes not be taught
at night does not mean that none of it can
Do any ATOs have approved syllabi for SEP or MEP which includes training
at night?
I believe the privileges of an instructor cannot just allow instruction towards
Licence/Rating issue, renewal or revalidation - they must permit instruction of
any elements of a Licence/Rating
syllabus to anybody at any time.
If that were not the case then a "whole can of worms" would open up:
eg: An aerobatic instructor could not give aerobatic instruction to someone
who already holds an aerobatic Rating and club check outs would not be
allowed on SEP holders during the first year of their Rating validity.
However Instruction can only be given if the privileges held are not trumped
by another requirement.
FCL.810Night rating
(a)Aeroplanes, TMGs, airships.
(1)If the privileges of an LAPL or a PPL for aeroplanes, TMGs or airships are to be
exercised in VFR conditions at night, applicants shall have completed a training
course at an ATO. The course shall comprise:
(i)theoretical knowledge instruction;
(ii)at least 5 hours of flight time in the appropriate aircraft category at night, including
at least 3 hours of dual instruction, including at least 1 hour of cross-country with...
VFR dual instruction at night is part of the Night Rating syllabus (and not
part of any other, that I can see). Therefore VFR at night instruction to
LAPL or PPL holders requires the privilege to instruct for the night Rating.
To answer your specific questions:
An IRI may instruct IFR at night, not VFR
A TRI may instruct at night if the approved Type Rating
course states it.
The legislation does appears to state that only CPL FIs can instruct CPL
holders VFR at night!!!
because the Regulation does not specifically state that a CRI may
instruct at night then he may not
Yes but also because:
CPL privileges do not state they can be exercised at night - but to
gain a CPL
night training is required.
CRI do not state the privileges can be exercised at night.
But to gain a CRI
no night instruction training/competence testing
required.
And all Instructor privileges in EASA seem to require a demonstration
of competence.
