Flight Simulator instructor requirements
If you've lost your medical, but would like to become a flight simulator instructor, what do you need to have? For example, do you need to have an ATP, type rating and a CFI?

LASORS Section H.5 covers the UK JAA requirements. But seeing CFI I'm guessing that you're American so the system may be different on the other side of the pond.

A Flight Simulator is in JAA terms a full motion multi-pilot device in which case you must be either a TRI or a SFI to instruct on such a device.
