OK, suppose I own a PFA permit aircraft. I am allowed to do training in this aircraft as sole owner. Presumably this would include FIC training, so I could do the training required for either CRI rating or to renew my (long lapsed) FI rating.
However in either case I would need a test with a FIE. Would doing the test in my own permit aircraft be a problem? If the FIE cannot be renumerated would any FIE do the test (expenses only)? Do some FIEs work for the airlines? presumably then they could not be renumerated anyway since it would then be aerial work and compromise their FTL limits. How much "expenses" can a instructor or examiner recieve before it becomes "renumeration"?

OK guys, I give in! As 3P says, I think there is endless scope for talking around this subject in circles, and It seems that every new post introduces another spin off tangent which I am already resisting the urge to pick up and pursue, so I will bow out with many thanks for all contributions! Anyway, I'm feeling more than a little guilty about (unintentionally) hijacking the original thread question (Sorry PF)
MJ, Many thanks for all the info especially on the CRI stuff. I really enjoyed your last post. It was totally incomprehensible, highly amusing, and compulsive reading. Now I know why your Prefix Is "Mad"
Incidentally I'm currently talking to another group member about us both doing a Joint CRI course so it may not be long before it is indeed actually booked, and no I definitely aint teetotal, and so may well take you up on your offer!
