Type/Class query
Can someone please clarify the following for me:
According to LASORS:
"PPL/CPL/ATPL(A) holders shall have completed at least 30 hrs on SEP powered aeroplanes of which at least 5 hrs shall be in the six months preceeding the pre-entry flight test".
"All instructors shall unless specified otherwise have at least 15 hrs experience as pilot on the type or class of aeroplane on which instruction is being given".
I have a fATPL and am considering doing a FI(A) Rating to teach PPL students. As both PIC and PU/T, I have personally only ever flown PA-28s and DA40/42s. If the FTO at which I would be based only uses C152s for PPL training, presumably I would need differences training before being able to instruct there?
I'm not sure of the significance of 'unless specified otherwise'.
Many thanks,
HW

PA28s, DA40s and C152s are all in the SEP Class. The DA42 is MEP Class. None of them are Type rated. It is recommended that you have 5 hours in a different make/model of aeroplane before giving instruction on it. The 15 hours relates to Types and Classes as defined in JAR-FCL1, not to different types/makes/models.
