Can a JAA instructor give the instructional flight required under the FARs for a BFR, and if so could you combine JAA and FAA biennial flights into one?
The FARs specify "authorised" instructor. An FAA "Ground Instructor" can supply the ground element as well as logbook endorsement....Now as these exams are not too onerous.....(see what I'm getting at, I'll do yours, you do mine
)
To be eligible for a ground instructor certificate, you must
Be at least 18 years of age.
Be able to read, write, and converse fluently in English.
Exhibit practical and theoretical knowledge by passing the Fundamentals of Instructing (FOI) and the appropriate ground instructor knowledge tests.
For the FOI knowledge test, study Gleim's Fundamentals of Instructing FAA Knowledge Test.
You are not required to take the FOI knowledge test if you
Hold an FAA flight or ground instructor certificate
Hold a current teacher's certificate authorizing you to teach at an educational level of 7th grade or higher
Are employed as a teacher at an accredited college or university
For the advanced or basic ground instructor knowledge test, study Gleim's Flight/Ground Instructor FAA Knowledge Test book.
For the instrument ground instructor knowledge test, study Gleim's Instrument Pilot FAA Knowledge Test book.
