JAA Flying Instructor Requirements
My understanding is that to obtain a current JAA FI rating (on a JAA PPL) you need to show CPL level knowledge which basically means taking the JAA CPL or ATPL ground exams. I was wondering if the JAA accept an FAA CPL as "Relevant CPL knowledge" or if it had to be the JAA Exams.
Has anybody got round this knowledge requirement without taking the exams e.g experience/job related training / Motor Glider instructor /degree Aero eng etc. I understand a high level of knowledge is required but to me it seems a little excessive to have to sit CPL exams just to be able to instruct at weekends on a PPL (unpaid).
Thanks

The actual theoretical knowledge requirement is:
Meet the knowledge requirements for the grant of
a JAR-FCL Commercial Pilot Licence
(Aeroplanes) as per AMC FCL 1.470(b).
A FAA CPL does not meet this requirement. Neither do any of the other qualifications to which you refer.
Although the PPL(A) is a non-professional JAA licence, those conducting flight instruction for the licence are required to have at least JAA professional levels of knowledge.
Many in the PPL training industry consider this excessive and wish to change the theoretical knowledge requirements; this may be achieved eventually, but not in the immediate future.

Hello,
Just a quickly question...
I wonder, is it possible to work in UK or Ireland with a FI passed in France ?
I know that FI is a rating so all the JAR countries should accept it but I can say that France does not accept a FI JAA (UK) or from another jar country...
is there a little conversion ?
thank you!
