Is ATPL/CPL and Class 1 still necessary
 

1)Is it possible under JAR to obtain an instructor rating with a class 2 medical if the CPL exams are passed?

2)Under the "old" CAA regime a class 1 was mandatory but someone mentioned on another thread that a restricted class 1 can now be given under JAR for problems such as colour perception,enabling the issue of an instructor rating if all other criteria are met.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks

The situation remains much as before.

You can obtain an FI rating and work as an unremunerated instructor with a PPL and a Class 2 medical. The course pre-entry requirements do, as you say, include CPL level knowledge. ATPL has never been required for single pilot aircraft.

Thanks for the info.If,perchants,I did the CPL exams and sent in my class 2 with my pass papers I would then get a CPL licence endorsed in some way to prevent me flying for hire or reward??
If,then I decided to seek renumeration would I only need a class 1 to upgrade??

In order to obtain a FI rating you must have passed at least the CPL exams.

You will not get a CPL unless you have a Class 1 Medical

You can instruct on a PPL with a Class 2 Medical but you cannot be remunerated.

Sounds a bit ambiguous or is it too early on a sat morning for me!!
If one now needs a CPL to get a FI rating and that is only poss.with a class 1 medical then how can a PPL instruct without renumeration??

What Noggin is saying is that you must pass the CPL GROUND exams - not the CPL Skill Test. So you can have just a PPL and an FI rating with a Class 2 medical.
