CFII instructor as passenger (FAA)

I once had a ten-second instruction. Nobody logged it.

I was flying around in circles, and the airport owner (CFI) asked if I
could fly him 4.2 miles to another airport. I said sure.

As we were flying over, I thought to myself that this was the first
time I had flown with an instructor, but wasn't receiving instruction.

As I was on the downwind, about to turn base, Gregg reached over and
pulled the power. He said "You just lost your engine - where are you
going to land".

I replied "In those trees - just short of the runway", as I pushed the
power back in.



It took you 10 seconds to teach him the laws of physics?

Can a CFII give instrument instruction in a tailwheel aircraft if the
CFII does not have a tailwheel rating?

There's no such thing as a tailwheel rating.

Answer is yes. And he can even log it. But you can't go on a filed IFR
cross country flight unless one of you has an IFR rating.

The answer is only a qualified yes. Yes, if it's a single engine.
No, if it's a twin.


Can a pilot who has a complex rating be PIC in an Amphibian if he does
not have a Seaplane rating. (Almost all amphibians are complex).
Yes, so long as he does not land on water.

There's no such thing as a complex rating.
