2 yearly instructor hour
I need to do this in the next couple of months, and I want to do it in my own aircraft which is a permit taildragger, question is; does said instructor need to hold tailwheel endorsment ?
I believe so, otherwise they can't be PiC.
I'm sure there are people closer to you (nearest I'm normally close to Oakham would be Cranfield), but I'd be happy to do it if you want somebody happy in a permit Auster (taking that from your profile as what you're after).

Yes they do. I am ten minutes away from you if you want it doing.
As an examiner I can the paperwork part as well.
Drop me a pm.

Thanks for offers etc. It's just that a friend of mine who is a newly qualified FI had offered, but since he doesn't have a tailwheel endorsement I guess it rules him out. Bose, thanks I'll probably be in touch.

A newly qualified Fi would not be able to do it anyway as they need to be supervised until they are unrestricted. They can't just go out and free lance.......
Anyway, ER you know where I am.

As others point out your friend needs to be supervised and needs to have the difference to be able to teach the difference ..... more to the point, as part of the FI course he should know that he can't do it!

P.S. I'm further away and couldn't do it as I don't have differences for wheels in the wrong place!
(Standing by for incoming!)

Where are you supposed to put the tailwheel then DD?

I never questioned the positioning of the tailwheel - I just pointed out that the wheel is in the wrong place!
Need to sort something out, soonish, I suppose G! I do feel somewhat disadvantaged at times. Let me know when the magnetos are back on line and we'll sort out a jolly.

only an examiner can do the bi-annual flight review as it has to be signed off in your license by an examiner. You will end up having to do it again if you do it with an FI. Happened to a friend of mine, presented his logbook to CFI who made him do the flight again.
It is not a BFR, it is a biennial flight with an instructor. An FI (unrestricted) or CRI can do the flight, an examiner is only required to sign the licence.

But he still needs a tailwheel sign-off of course.

Just to clarify...
A restricted FI (we're talking UK here) can do an 'hour with' for the purposes of revalidation of a SEP rating provided he is working under the supervision of an unrestricted FI under the banner of an approved organization. He can only do so if he holds appropriate differences signatures for the differences found on the SEP type in question and is suitably experienced on that type.
There are other questions about whether he could do it on a permit aircraft.

Come to think of it - are you sure Bose? I know that a full FI or a CRI can do this, but are you sure that an FI(R) can't do the biennial flight with an instructor.
This means the flight will need to be conducted from the approved organisations base and in accordance with the Operations Manual/Flying Order book etc.
What of course nobody actually asked, and the OP may not know, is whether the OP's chum is supervised by an FI within a flying school somewhere. He may well be of course.
