It was a small group of people in the USA who are collectively known as the Federal Aviation Administration.
I DID SAY that are limitations to your use - I DID SAY you cannot authorise any kind of solo work - I DID SAY that you may not be of sufficient use to a flying school to be hired by them as an instructor.
I also said that you do not need to be an FAA rated CFI in order to instruct students for the issue of a CAA licence...even if flying N registered aircraft in American airspace....and I meant it.
I have been the target of an investigation by the FAA and they went away very content that I had not broken any of their regulations. However, I say again, the part that I could play in the tuition of these students was very limited, very limited indeed.
Now, consider the part of my original posting again, that says..."teaching IMC or multi ratings"...you DO NOT need an FAA instructor rating.
I think it's a b****y good idea to have one, I'm just saying, in passing, that you do not need one - in law.
In insurance terms...well, that's another matter.
Meeb...any comments?
IintheSky...no, it wasn't either Adrian or Steve. It was just little old me.
