Sim Instructors

Are any of the florida based Simulator companies recruiting at the moment. Does the FAA have an equivalent of an SFI?

I have worked for SIMCOM in Orlando and had a great time there.
What you need is FAA ATP CFII MEI, but no medical required.
Obviously time on the AC you are are gonna teach on helps..!!
Great company to work for..!!

Good luck.

Is it possible to get a FAA ATP CFII MEI without holding a medical? and is this really what is required to teach type ratings such as boeing and airbus?

Per part 142, you don't need an ATP, you just have to meet the requirements for an ATP. 142.47:

ii) If instructing in flight simulator or flight training device that represents an airplane requiring a type rating or if instructing in a curriculum leading to the issuance of an airline transport pilot certificate or an added rating to an airline transport pilot certificate, meets the aeronautical experience requirements of §61.159, §61.161, or §61.163 of this chapter, as applicable

No Instructor ratings required, the training center has to give training about training. Again, 142.47:

Prior to initial designation, each instructor shall:
(1) Complete at least 8 hours of ground training on the following subject matter:
(i) Instruction methods and techniques.
(ii) Training policies and procedures.
(iii) The fundamental principles of the learning process.
(iv) Instructor duties, privileges, responsibilities, and limitations.
(v) Proper operation of simulation controls and systems.
(vi) Proper operation of environmental control and warning or caution panels.
(vii) Limitations of simulation.
(viii) Minimum equipment requirements for each curriculum.
(ix) Revisions to the training courses.
(x) Cockpit resource management and crew coordination

There is no way to get a FAA PVT, COMM or ATP without holding a medical.
