JAA flight instructor license
 

hello people. i have a question about the JAA FI(A). i currently have FAA CPL. i would like to teach students for the JAA PPL. Do i have to pass the 14 exams for ATPL in order to be a flight instructor? Im not interested about flying for airlines. Just flight instruction for part-time. Any ideas are welcome

Im pretty sure you do. I know that the minimum is JAA PPL with full ATPL Knowledge. I could stand corrected on this though - I seem to remember something about you being able to have FAA CPL with instructor rating and JAA PPL being sufficient. Not 100% though sorry!

If no interest in the airlines, you only need to do the CPL theory not ATPL.

thanks guys...i was very comfused because most flight schools in their webside, dont talk about written exams..only medical and 150 hours PIC.
