Obtain a CRI rating after finishing an FI course
Its been banded about on these forums that after successfully completing an FI course it is possible to get a CRI rating also added.
Yet on the one occasion that I know of someone who tried this. The CAA rejected the application.
Could someone confirm that it is indeed possible to get a CRI rating along with FI issue and how you go about doing it.

It is possible, although he will have to pay the additional issue fee. I have helped several FI(R)s to do this, but all have required some assistance in dealing with the CAA.

For a PPL holder, one of the pre-requisites for holding an FI certificate is 200 hours total time on aeroplanes. Whereas for a CRI on single pilot aeroplanes it is 300 hours.
Thus merely holding an FI certificate does not always meet CRI certificate requirements.

Adding a CRI after an FI
Went to the CAA to get my FI added last week and asked licensing about the CRI issue. They said it was a more restrictive rating than the FI so there is no addition to be added! I don't proclaim to understand it myself to be honest!
