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
