Lapsed FI(R)

@Sleepybhudda: Think of it this way. Until the restriction is removed, the privileges of an FI certificate are limited to the provision, under supervision, of the instruction listed in FCL.FI.910. However, you may exercise the privileges of an IRI certificate to provide instruction for the IR and EIR and the privileges of a CRI certificate to instruct for MEP class rating. Once the restriction is removed from the FI certificate, you may apply to have the IRI and CRI privileges added to it or continue to hold separate certificates (or both).

BillieBob: It can be thought of that way. But thats not how EASA wrote it. FCL.910.FI does not prohibits the exercising of h) or i) privilege just the ones it specifically listed. I cannot see anything that would stop you adding the h) or i) privileges. Whopity is correct why would you need to if you just had the standalone versions.

I think you'll find that's the way the competent authorities read it.

To avoid the expense of maintaining three separate ratings?
