CFII question...

There is one little legal catch that makes currency an issue: You
must be current to file and receive an IFR clearance, regardless of
the WX conditions and the instruction required for the IFR dual cross
country must be given under an IFR clearance, but not necessarily
instrument conditions.

As usual with many members of this NG, Ron has chosen his words to
reflect the letter of the law, not so much to clearify the issue.
A PIC under IFR could concievably be in a non-control seat in the
airplane.

You don't even need to get that far fetched. If the pilot in the left seat
is qualified (e.g., still current) then the instructor need not be.

Does a CFII have to be instrument current to give instrument instruction in VFR
conditions? Just curious...and I don't have a set-O-regs handy at the moment
otherwise I'd get off my lazy butt and look it up. Thanks...

Instructor has to be current only if he is acting as pilot in command.

If the student flies wearing a view limiting device under VFR, then
the instructor has to be current in that aircraft for VFR flight.

If the flight is conducted under IFR, then the instructor needs to be
instrument current (unless the student already has an instrument
rating and assumed PIC responsibilities).

Instrument conditions, or just PIC on an IFR flight plan?

Either. Need to be instrument current to act as PIC while flying
around in below VFR conditions or act as PIC on an instrument flight
plan.
