In the UK and under EASA for PPL(A) SEP
Ab initio training must be carried out by an ATO in an aircraft that registered with (though not necessarily owned by) said ATO. Instruction must be carried out by an instructor attached to the ATO and records must be maintained by the ATO. Training is well prescribed and the CAA expect to see the (19?) standard exercises logged. The licence is awarded after successful completion of training, nine exams, suitable solo x-country and a flying test (+ form + fee).
Am I correct that:
i) Differences training (floppy prop, tailwheel) can be done by a freelance instructor in any suitable aircraft with the training signed off in the pilot's logbook and not recorded elsewhere. The nature and amount of training is not prescribed and the difference is awarded on the signature of a flying instructor. The CAA are not notified.
ii) Training for class ratings (TMG, banner towing, glider towing, glass cockpit, ME) must be completed and recorded under an ATO. There is a flight test and on successful completion the licence is amended by the CAA. The aircraft does not need to be registered with the ATO and other than the submitted form, details of the training do not need to be recorded. The training is not prescribed and the class rating is awarded on submission of the form and its fee to the CAA.
:ugh: (Still trying to understand IR(R) and IR practicalities).
