The need for original documents, N-reg aircraft?
Your private pilot has a medical. The CFI in the quoted section above
doesn't. Yep.. you're right. I was thinking more along the OP (CFI with third class medical) and didn't read fully. Required crewmembers must have a current medical, but class III should be ok. Jose -- He who laughs, lasts. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |

The funny thing is that anyone can check out any pilot's (whose identity is confirmed with other means) licensing info via the internet. Same with aircraft. Sometimes, this digs out funny results, like a CFII with a 3rd class medical What's funny about that? I've been a CFII with a Third Class Medical for the past 10 years. I don't tell the FAA anything about my physical condition that they don't absolutely demand. Bob Moore ATP CFII PanAm (retired) |

CFIs don't need any medical. Many just get a 3rd class
because it is less of a hassle, costs less. As long as the CFI doesn't act as PIC, he doesn't need the medical. Even w/o the medical, a CFI can log PIC anytime he is instructing and makes an endorsement in the pilot's logbook. What can a CFI w/o a medical do...flight review as long as the pilot's review is still valid and not expired. Sport Pilot instruction in a LSA. Any instruction where the CFI is not a required crewmember, required crewmembers must have a CFI. Thus, the CFI w/o a medical cannot be a safety pilot under simulated instrument conditions. -- James H.

Thus, the CFI w/o a medical cannot be a safety pilot under
simulated instrument conditions. Uhhh... I'm not so sure about that. If a private pilot with a class III medical can be a safety pilot, the addition of the CFI endorsement should not remove that privilage. Could it be that it is merely that a pilot could not log such flight as =dual=? Jose -- He who laughs, lasts. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |

The safety pilot is a required crewmember (observer),
required to be qualified to act as PIC since the pilot can't see and avoid. The CFI must have the medical if the "student" is under the hood. On the other hand, a CFI can instruct in IFR procedures as long as the student is fully qualified to be PIC (flight review, certificate and required endorsements) if the student is not under the hood. If the "student" is a qualified and current Instrument rated pilot and the flight is conducted in IMC, the CFI would not be a required crewmember. -- James H.

Recurrent training is often done for fully qualified and
current pilots. And what I saw is to do with FAA in the USA, as soon as you go over a border, the rules change. -- James H.

When the CFII in question is offering flight training, in an airspace (Class A) where he **would have to be** PIC. so? and what would the problem with this scenario? completely legal, as least under FAA rules. --Sylvain |
