I am currently a CRI and have really enjoyed the variety of instruction that I’ve been able to get through the club I am a member of.
I think the inevitable is going to happen at some point, and I will undertake the FI course. One reason for this post is a question, which is if I am already a CRI, would I still have to do the pre-entry flight test for the FI course?
The second reason for this post concerns my theoretical knowledge predicament, which is that I currently don’t have CPL/ATPL theory under my belt. I know that if I still went ahead and did the FI course, my instruction would be limited to LAPL only, and I would initially be a restricted FI. Am I realistically wasting my time doing the FI course without the CPL/ATPL theoretical knowledge given what I would be limited to be able to teach? I don’t know what the stats are of people these days who would actively choose to go for the LAPL as opposed to the PPL. It is something I will ask our CFI about but I wondered what the general picture/opinion was on this.
The usual thing….sorry if this has already been covered…..
