Obtaining Flight Instructor Certificate

"Peter Duniho" wrote in message ...

If you're not trying to get qualified to instruct instrument flight, why
would you need an instrument rating, assuming you had all the other
necessary privileges on your pilot certificate? What does "privileges on
that person's pilot certificate that are appropriate to the flight
instructor rating sought" actually mean?

ATP's don't hold instrument ratings.

So? Please read the rest of the thread. The clause easily could have
specified "instrument privileges" specifically, but it didn't. So, not only
does it not make clear that "instrument privileges" ARE required, it implies
that some other privileges might be necessary and/or sufficient.

Of all the poorly written paragraphs in the FARs, this sure seems to be one
of them.
