Devil 200 hr TT instructors, A waste of space?

Hello all,


Do you think a fresh CPL should be able to do an instructor rating and then teach with basically no experience? I personally think that there should be a minimum hour requirement like the rotary wing which is 400 hrs TT. Really these extremely green instructors are teaching out of a book with no real world experience and from what I see most of them don’t even really understand what they are teaching.

This way it would weed out those people who don’t really want to instruct but are there for the hours which waste both the students time and money and give instructors a bad name. I would like to instruct one day but not until I feel I have something to teach the students.

Thought it would be interesting to see what everyone else thought on this issue.
