Civ FI from mil QFI
 

Would be grateful for gen on this as part of new job may involve instructing a bit:

What would and ex-mil, fixed wing pilot need to do (courses/exams etc) to become a civilian FI (single piston)? I've got some military instructional experience, but not a great deal.

Would appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction :-)

"I've got some military instructional experience, but not a great deal."

Specifically what? Were you a CFS-trained QFI? If so, when and on what type - and what category did you achieve?

Presumably you hold either an ATPL(A) or CPL(A) with SEP Class Rating?

Beags,

Sorry, I could have been a bit more specific there. A2 QFI Tucano about 15 years ago. Done a bit of instructing since, but not at that (BFT) level. ATPL(A) and a PPL.

In which case you need to meet the requirements of LASORS H1.8c, which is basically to apply to CAA PLD for an assessment of your case.

You also need to renew your SEP Class Rating as you cannot run an ATPL(A) and PPL(A) concurrently - the SEP privileges need to be maintained on your ATPL(A).

Super, thanks :-)

Ray,

My apologies. I think it was my application last year that caused LASORS to be altered this year to be more specific about old (all things are relative)QFIs. I have sent you an email so that you can contact me direct which I hope might help when you apply to the CAA.
