Supervision of restricted FIs FCL.910.FI

[Broadlands]

BEagle, Whopity
Thanks. It looks like previously somebody took the reply and made an assumption, so that is corrected now. Next problem is I will be away working which leaves the ATO without a HoT or CFI in the UK and no one to delegate to, but that is another issue.

Interesting if the CAA agree to microlight FI supervising a FCL SEP FI(R)at this stage pre 600kg. Certainly some microlights can fly further, faster and for longer than a C152, (if flown solo !)...

A FI(R) is subject to the limitations in the licence and the requiremednts of FCL.910. The Microlight FI, which is a National qualification is not recognised by FCL910 and therefore has no capacity with regard to any limitations and provisions required under that regulation. If a FI(R) EASA was supervised by a FI Microlight it would not fulfill the requirements of FCL.910.
