Minimum TT for FI?

[funster]

Hi all,

This is my first post so I hope this question hasn't been answered elsewhere, sorry if it has... What is the minimum air time and licenses needed to be able to gain an FI qualification?

Thanks

You need to look at LASORS Section H para 1.2. If you want to be an FI, get used to looking things up!!

Minimum time is 230 hours including the Instructor Course. You can instruct on a PPL but you have to pass the CPL theoretical exams and can't be paid without holding a commercial license.
You can become a microlight instructor with less hours typically 150 and don't need the CPL theory exams.

First post and probably never heard of LASORS!

Thanks guys for the input. I hadn't heard of LASORS but it sounds like I'll have to become familiar with it in a fairly big way!
