Flight Instructor Rating - Currency & Privileges
Hi PPRuners
One of those "easy if you know" type questions...
I am due to sit my FI(A) flight test in the coming weeks, so want to swot up on the qualification criteria (ie. to demonstrate that I meet the requirements), the privileges when I do get the rating, and the currency I'll need to do on a rolling basis.
Anybody have the link to the CAA/Lasors guide which spells all that out? At the moment all I can find is the changes that are likely to occur with the introduction of EASA licensing.
Thanks in advance.

Your Instructors should have covered this or at least pointed you in the right direction.
You should also be able to explain the privileges of the licences you are instructing for too.

Chrisbl is absolutely correct in his/her comments; however you should also expect to be asked about the restrictions which will apply when you initially receive your FI(A) Restricted rating and what you need to do to get the Restriction removed.
Your FIC instructor should have covered this during your training along with any current "hot" topics.

The above comments are absolutely correct; this should have been covered in your course of training. You may not yet have completed the course, so your instructor may cover this at a later date. Make sure it is, it is important and you will be quizzed on it by the FIE during your AoC (it is no longer called a flight test). Don't get 'short changed' on the course.
You need to bury yourself in EASA Part-FCL, 1178/2011, AMC & GMs. Use the original source. They are available here EASA Flight Standards
Incidentally, it is no longer a Flight Instructor Rating, it is an Instructor Certificate. Small details are what the FIE will probe you on. Remember, you need this knowledge as you will be the one advising other's of its intricacies once you are qualified.
Good luck
