This is increasingly worrying as there is a growing number of these instructors, they have completed exactly the same training as any other FI and passed a FI Assessment of Competence yet have less privileges than a CRI! The regulation states that they may train for the "LAPL only" which poses further questions, can they do any training with licence holders? e.g. club checks, the hour with an FI; differences training etc; taken literally, they cannot!
A number are doing normal PPL training and until a candidate makes a licence application, nobody knows which licence they are training for?
