Flight instruction or training in third country aircraft

I also recall EASA requiring an EASA CPL for any paid instruction in Euro-land, regardless of aircraft reg or license/rating being trained.

Not valid in Sweden, PPL/FIs get paid and it is perfectly legal.

ESME, ESMS

If training towards EASA papers, and the client is paying, it seems clear that you need EASA CPL theory.

Partially, but that does not mean holding a CPL. One needs CPL theory to become a FI and train people towards a PPL. Without CPL theory, one can:

  • become FI and train people towards the LAPL
  • become CRI
  • become IRI

Not a Swedish thing either. It is very clearly stated in FCL.205.A(b). It’s not even in an AMC but in the regulation proper, so there is no way a national authority could prevent PPL FIs from being paid.

OK, so one needs CPL theory to become a FI and train people towards a PPL, and the payment is irrelevant.

The UK requirement for a CPL to be paid for any training in UK airspace must have gone away when this EASA concession came in – at least for training towards EASA papers.

Whether it remains for training towards non EASA papers is unanswered; various previous threads – example.

The holder of a (non–Part-FCL) UK PPL whose licence includes an instructor certificate is entitled to give flying instruction for remuneration or other valuable consideration. Schedule 8 to the Air Navigation Order.

That’s good.

Would an FAA CFI/CFII training in UK airspace towards FAA papers be required to hold any EASA papers?
