TSA rule - registration of freelance instructors

Hey, Steve, wanna sit in the right seat while I do three and a hold? Don't
say anything, just enjoy the ride. I'll even pay the FBO the standard
instructor rate.

Instruction, or not? Can it come down to whether you write 1.2 in the Dual
Received column?


If you write 1.2 in the Dual column and put your instructor certificate number
in the logbook, the entry can be used for ratings and such. It's instruction.

If you don't, then it cannot be used for ratings, currency, or anything (and if
you are out of currency while you are doing it, it's illegal). So it's not
"official" instruction.

However, you are teaching something and the student is learning. To the best
of my knowledge, the mechanics of flying is not classified information. I
don't think there is anything to prevent you (whether or not you are a CFI)
from sharing your knowledge of unclassified material with any other person.
