The instructor may well not have an AFR, but to instruct would have a higher level CHECK to maintain instructor privileges completed within the past two years - which presumably covers an AFR.
PICUS is under supervision. So the supervisor would be the ultimate carrier of the can, should it all go pear shaped, n'est pas?
