I am sure I can count on this newsgroup to give this question their best !

Would it be legal for a CFI [Not CFII] to act as PIC from the right seat
with a student in IMC ?

In my opinion regardless of the legality, it would be less than sensible,
what say the group ?

So long as said CFI meets the requirements to act as PIC in the a/c under
IMC, the answer has to be "yes" as to the legality.

I'm not aware of any circumstances where a CFI has less privileges than a
non-CFI. And there is nothing I am aware of in the regulations that make
my legality to act as PIC contingent on the ratings of anyone else in the
a/c, or their seat position.

So far as the sensibility, I leave that for others to discuss. But I think
whether or not it is sensible depends on the mission objectives.
