Whopity,
I value your reply.
We currently do not have any FI's restricted (to LAPL) but am very much in favour of this option.
Rightly or wrongly, we always try to establish the end goal for the student and the briefings reflect this. We will try to push the 'commercial student' to closer tolerances as it will make it easier for them longer term.
We also respect the fact that instructors not restricted to LAPL have already demonstrated a more detailed knowledge (CPL TK) which can only be beneficial to the student.
It has previously been easier to become an instructor for microlights and past experience has often shown that conversion to EASA PPL highlights differing standards.
