of refresher training needed should be determined on a case-by-case basis by the ATO,
taking into account the following factors:
(1) the experience of the applicant;
(2) the amount of time lapsed since the last time the applicant has conducted training in
an MPL course. The amount of training needed to reach the desired level of
competence should increase with the time lapsed. In some cases, after evaluating
the instructor, and when the time lapsed is very limited, the ATO may even determine
that no further refresher training is necessary.
(b) Once the ATO has determined the needs of the applicant, it should develop an individual
training programme, which should be based on the MPL instructor course and focus on the
aspects where the applicant has shown the greatest needs.
FCL.930 Training course
(a) An applicant for an instructor certificate shall have completed a course of theoretical
knowledge and flight instruction at an ATO. An applicant for an instructor certificate for
sailplanes or balloons may have completed a course of theoretical knowledge and flight
instruction at a DTO.
(b) In addition to the specific elements set out in this Annex (Part-FCL) for each category of
instructor, the training course shall contain the elements required in point FCL.920.
(c) Applicants for the FI certificate who hold or have held any other instructor certificate issued

FCL.930.CRI CRI - Training course
(a) The training course for the CRI shall include, at least:
(1) 25 hours of teaching and learning instruction;
(2) 10 hours of technical training, including revision of technical knowledge, the
preparation of lesson plans and the development of classroom/ simulator
instructional skills;
(3) 5 hours of flight instruction on multi-engine aeroplanes or an FSTD representing that
class or type of aeroplane, including at least 3 hours on the aeroplane, or at least 3
hours of flight instruction on single-engine aeroplanes, given by an FI(A) qualified in

FCL.930.CRI AMC1 CRI - Training course
GENERAL
(a) The aim of the CRI training course is to train aircraft licence holders to the level of
competence defined in FCL.920 and adequate to a CRI.
(b) The training course should be designed to give adequate training to the applicant in
theoretical knowledge instruction, flight instruction and FSTD instruction to instruct for any
class or type rating, except for single-pilot high-performance complex aeroplanes, for
which the applicant is qualified.
(c) The flight training should be aimed at ensuring that the applicant is able to teach the air
exercises safely and efficiently to students undergoing a course of training for the issue of
a class or type rating, except for single-pilot high-performance complex aeroplanes.
(d) It is to be noted that airmanship is a vital ingredient of all flight operations. Therefore, in the
following air exercises the relevant aspects of airmanship are to be stressed at the
appropriate times during each flight.
(e) The student instructor should learn how to identify common errors and how to correct
them properly, which should be emphasised at all times.
CONTENT
(f) The training course consists of three parts:
(1) Part 1: teaching and learning that should be in accordance with AMC1 FCL.920;
(2) Part 2: technical theoretical knowledge instruction (technical training);
(3) Part 3: flight instruction.
Part 1
The content of the teaching and learning part of the FI training course, as established in AMC1
FCL.930.FI, should be used as guidance to develop the course syllabus.
Part 2
(a) The technical theoretical-knowledge instruction should comprise at least 10 hours of
training to include the revision of technical knowledge, preparation of lesson plans, and
development of classroom instructional skills to enable the CRI to teach the technical
theoretical-knowledge syllabus.
(b) The type or class rating theoretical syllabus should be used to develop the CRI teaching
skills in relation to the type or class technical course syllabus. The course instructor should
deliver example lectures from the applicable type or class technical syllabus. The
candidate instructor should prepare and deliver lectures on topics that are selected by the
course instructor from the type/class rating course and the generic topics listed further
below.
(c) The 10 hours of technical theoretical-knowledge instruction should develop the applicant’s
ability to teach a student the knowledge and understanding that are required for the relevant
air exercises for either SE or ME aeroplanes, depending on the privileges sought by the
candidate.
(d) If CRI privileges for both SE and ME aeroplanes are sought, the applicant should complete
