US FAA endorsements
Hello,
there must be a number of US CFIs operating outside the US and we all do BFRs etc. Interesting question arose recently in my neck of the woods.
To add a 'high performance' (> 200 hp) endorsement to an FAA licence holder, must you be an FAA authorised CFI or can any 'authorized' instructor put the sign-off in the log book, e.g.
a UK instructor?
The FAA regs. (61.31) refer to an 'authorised instructor', which, of course we all are, but under our own jurisdictions.
Interested to hear from anyone.

Andrew

§ 61.41 Flight training received from flight instructors not certificated by the FAA.
(a) A person may credit flight training toward the requirements of a pilot certificate or rating issued under this part, if that person received the training from:
[...]
(2) A flight instructor who is authorized to give such training by the licensing authority of a foreign contracting State to the Convention on International Civil Aviation, and the flight training is given outside the United States.
(b) A flight instructor described in paragraph (a) of this section is only authorized to give endorsements to show training given.
In other words: foreign flight instructors can give you training time, but not endorse you in any way for anything...
