Mike, Chris said he is a 'Basic' instructor. FYI, a Basic rating (UK) is not valid for P2 handling below 500 feet. This is for the safety of both parties as the Basic Instructor will not have had the intensive low-level recovery training that an Assistant or Full Category instructor will have received. Ok, that explains it. I'm in Canada ![]() I think it's a bit odd to have a "height restriction / different instructor ratings". IMHO you should be qualified to instruct / recover from the student's errors *whatever* the altitude / p1/p2 situation. Do you know if there is a similiar classification for *power* instructors in the U.K. ? The instructor should either be off (YOU HAVE CONTROL) or on (I HAVE CONTROL) unless he has clearly stated he is doing so and why. My feelings exactly. Especially after a pointed briefing of "I have control / You have control", then the instructor doesn't "follow the rules" ! Mike |
