Part 61 Question
I sent a question to CASA some time ago but nothing back as yet.
Maybe someone out in pilot land has an idea?
If you are a GR1 instructor and are rated on , for example an A330 , can you provide type rating endorsements onto the aircraft in the same way that a GR1 instructor with a formation, aerobatics or other design endorsement ( like pressurisation/retract etc) can do with those aspects under the new regs?
My point is , as a current A330 captain with a GR1 rating , what is the difference training someone on either a small or big aircraft? Assuming I had access to a sim and used the airbus syllabus, what if any are the hurdles??
I was under the impression that this was the whole reason Part 61 was cranked up - to allow qualified pilots with suitable instructional skills to provide training for the industry and reduce to requirements for CASA to do it.
Or is a big aeroplane different to a little one in the regs?
Thanks for any input in advance.
