Just when can Training for FI commence??
I am in the fortunate position where I can gain training and pay only for aircraft hire for the FIC(JAR). I will have to do the training part time to fit in with the instructors schedule. Does anyone know if I can commence training before having my CPL? I figure by the time I have completed the training I will have my CPl etc... Any comments? Or is it more constructive to do a full time course?? I would look to save the money though 
Appreciated.

PS: Yes I know, my instructor should be able to answer this one but at the moment uncontactable.

Max,
You don't need a CPL before you can start the FIC.
In fact you can quite happily teach on a PPL, just don't take any cash for it
Although tea and sticky buns are allowable
You do need knowledge to CPL level though. In otherwords Nav and Tech group papers passed.
Good Luck,
Vigi
