I'm a private pilot with 130 hours currently training for my commercial. The flight school I'm training at is going to start an ultralight program using a bushmaster. I was wondering is it legal for me to teach? The CAR's and the Ultra-light Aeroplane Transition Strategy are kind of confusing as to what is required. Can anyone clarify?

This is the correct (but short) answer.wha happen wrote:no, you can not instruct
Here is the longer version:
From CARS 421.88
"(6) Credits
(a) An applicant who holds a permit or licence in any other category of aircraft shall be deemed to meet the knowledge requirement specified in paragraph (3)(d) above (ULTRA).
(b) An applicant who is the holder of, or has held a pilot licence of the aeroplane category within the preceding 5 years shall have the Experience requirement reduced to a minimum of 20 hours of flight time in Ultra-light Aeroplanes, including a minimum of 2 hours dual instruction flight time and a minimum of 10 hours solo flight time.
(c) The Knowledge and Skill requirements shall be deemed to have been met if the applicant holds, or has held within the preceding two years, a Flight Instructor Rating - Aeroplane or Helicopter.
(d) The requirement for a letter of recommendation for renewal of the rating can be satisfied by a successful instructor renewal flight test in the aeroplane or helicopter category aircraft."
Soo... to decypher this mess. If you wish to instruct on ultralights with your current experience:
-> you are not required to do the written exam
-> You will have to have a minimum of 20 hours on ultralights, of which 2 must be dual, and 10 must be solo
