ED Decision 2025/002/R
CONSEQUENCES OF AN INTERVENTION BY AN INSTRUCTOR QUALIFIED IN ACCORDANCE WITH POINT FCL.905.FI(h)(3) DURING AN SPIC TRAINING FLIGHT
Point FCL.905.FI(h) sets out the conditions for FI certificates to include privileges for providing instruction towards an IR. Compared to the regular case (point (h)(4), requiring 200 hours of IFR experience), point (h)(3) allows holders of an FI certificate with reduced IFR experience (50 hours) to already provide elements of IR instruction at an ATO (FSTD instruction, supervision of SPIC training flights). If however, during such an SPIC training flight, an instructor qualified in accordance with point FCL.905.FI(h)(3), needs to intervene for safety reasons, the instructor needs to either take over controls and end that flight as PIC or, if possible, continue with VFR instruction, since such an instructor is not entitled to provide IFR instruction in an aeroplane in flight.
