FIC - A Decision!
If the CPL requirement for an instructor comes from ICAO, then why isn't ICAO knowledge accepted?
My understanding is that ALL FIs have the exact same privileges, with the exception that one without CPL TK cannot teach an EASA PPL, and can only teach LAPL/NPPL only.
There is nothing in CAP804 to state otherwise, and the course content/testing for all FI candidates doesn't discriminate between whether they hold CPL TK or not. Everyone does the course, passes the FI skills test etc, then goes on to instruct. There isn't one FI course for CPL TK passes people, and one for everyone else, likewise with the skills-test.
