IMC Rating instruction
Many years ago I was an instructor for the IR at OATS - in terms of grandfather rights does that qualify?
Ie can an IAA FI teach for the NPPL?

So long as you completed the Instrument part of the FI revalidation test (Section 6) on the SRG1169 then you have revalidated those privileges.
We have a Chipmunk on our approval (rtf that is ) thats still on a C of A. And surprise surprise it flies just as well in IMC as it does in VFR.
Although I do agree its not ideal for IMC training.

There's too much emphasis on radio navigation and playing airliners in little aeroplanes by some folk - and not enough emphasis on good, solid IF skills.

It might have been 40years OK and was pretty OK when I learnt at Swinderby 25 years ago. But most of them have knackered gyro instruments thes days and don't make a great a instrument platform. They also only allow you to flow a single type of approach which will be the SRA or PRA. Non of them I have seen have the avionics for a pilot interpreted approach. So would require moving to another type to complete the course.
I do wonder sometimes Beagle if you look at a bygone age with rose tinted spectacles.
Its a moot point though as a check again on GINFO shows virtually all the Chipmunks on permit now as well. Something to do with the outrageous fees DH Support are making. So either Mickey Kay is going to be very busy or your dream of people training for an IMC on national types is a pipe dream!!
