Quick disclaimer: I have emailed the ATO and am awaiting their response but was just curious what others thought.
Hey all!
After a lot of faffing about and cloud watching, I passed my skills test in December (yay!). The next logical step is my night rating, which as its coming towards the end of night rating season, I've been contacting some schools.
Originally, I was going to do it with the ATO I did my PPL with, which shouldn't have had any issues posed upon it. However, due to a change of circumstances, it was no longer possible. I then commenced to contact a few RTFs and an ATO, which after a few brief discussions, the ATO was selected (mostly for the airfield).
From my understanding, there is no requirement for someone to actually be in possession of a licence while doing their night rating however, as not only would the instructor been changed, I would have changed schools so could this potentially be an issue (in terms of rules) or would it just be at the discretion of the school?
Thank you!
Update: CAA finally responded and gave a request of details of non UK examiner. Looks like I should get it before my first scheduled night rating flight after all.
