Instructing with OML Restriction

Whiskey Bravo,

Class 1 OML no longer relates to Class 2 priveledges as it used to If you look at the EASA Medical certificate it clearly states

Class 1 OML relates only to Class 1 priveledges

Unrestricted Class 2 is shown separatley and has its own standards which can be applied and managed by the AME in many cases with out reference to Gatwick (This wasnt the case pre EASA)

The guidance in Cap 804 and Matrix PURELY relates to Instruction and examing where you require Class 1 priveledges ie commercial training

In a nutshell a PPL/CPL Licence holder with Instructor rating and Unrestricted Class 2 Medical you can instruct and examine for remuneration with out restrictions up to and including PPL and all associated Ratings

If Class 1 priveledges are required i.e Instucting Commercial students then CAP 804 guidance becomes relevant

As previous responder wrote i wouldnt suggest further clarification unless you want more stringent requirements adding to recreational instruction

I was told at time of my re issue that under EASA regulations unrestricted instruction was absolutely fine on that basis they wanted me just to have Class 2 to continue my activites so AME could manage me with out Caa medics having to manage the OML side of things.

To be Frank ive thought about not renewing my Class 1 and getting rid of my CPL and just having PPL with Class 2 just to keep life super simple .

My view is crack on with with PPL instructing and examining and enjoy yourself and the money, in my view EASA has been very helpful, to Class 1 Oml holders who have unrestricted Class 2 medicals

Good luck and Fly Safe

Hello guys and gals,

I’m digging up this post because I’m in a similar situation and I would greatly appreciate help from people with knowledge about the OML/OSL subject.

I’m a french pilot and I have been subject to FAF medical admission then re approval for 5 years, then class 1 civil for 7 more years until late 2013.
But I’ve been recently discovered a hidden electrical heart problem, with absolutely no apparent symptoms. I have a normal life, doctors just can’t prove I’m have same risk as normal population, so my class 1 have been restricted to OML and my class 2 to OSL.

I already have a valid FI (a), 100h instructing and 25 solo supervised done, so “full” FI with no restriction about it.

I would like to know what can I exactly do with OML and OSL restrictions, or where to find accurate and up to date informations about it.

Examples :
- PPL instructing is allowed after first solos ? Or does the students need to have the PPL/LAPL to let me instruct them (students building hours for a modular CPL)
- instructing navigation for PPL is allowed ? Post 1st navigation only?
- CPL instructing is allowed when student know/ doesn’t know the aircraft ? Have to be PPL (like modular atpl) or ab-initio students, post solos are allowed ?
- Am I allowed to become captain on a type rated aircraft ? ( I have no OCL restriction)

I am living a nightmare since my problem was discovered and moreover I stopped instructing because of it.
Recently I have been refused to do a selection for a First Officer candidacy in an airline because of the OML restriction… It scares them or they refuse to take responsability…
I would like to clear the things out because I need to know if ever will be employed again to be instructor in GA or first officer on a multi crew aircraft to do medevacs or public transport.

Thanks for your time, I hope to get some informations.

EDIT : I looked at the UK CAP 804 texts, inside which I found the “Table 1 Flight instruction allowable by Aeroplane Instructors with a Class 1 medical certificate with OML” : Link
Problem is I don’t know if there is some equivalent document for thr french authority, aka the DGAC (CAA) ???
