CFI without commercial?
What are the rules nowadays for getting your CFI? Is a commercial rating
required before you can become a CFI? I imagine it is, since you're "flying for hire"...? I know you *used* to be able to get your CFI without an instrument rating, but I understand that is no longer allowed, right? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

You're only flying for hire if you charge for your instruction. I know you *used* to be able to get your CFI without an instrument rating, but I understand that is no longer allowed, right? Right. |

§ 61.183 Eligibility requirements. To be eligible for a flight instructor certificate or rating a person must: (a) Be at least 18 years of age; (b) Be able to read, speak, write, and understand the English language. If the applicant is unable to meet one of these requirements due to medical reasons, then the Administrator may place such operating limitations on that applicant's flight instructor certificate as are necessary; (c) Hold either a commercial pilot certificate or airline transport pilot certificate with: (1) An aircraft category and class rating that is appropriate to the flight instructor rating sought; and (2) An instrument rating, or privileges on that person's pilot certificate that are appropriate to the flight instructor rating sought, if applying for- (i) A flight instructor certificate with an airplane category and single-engine class rating; (ii) A flight instructor certificate with an airplane category and multiengine class rating; (iii) A flight instructor certificate with a powered-lift rating; or (iv) A flight instructor certificate with an instrument rating.

Come-on Jay, I thought that you were an English Major. It's a "commercial certificate", not rating, and CFIs don't "fly for hire", they "instruct for hire". :-) Bob Moore |

But if I instruct my son in my own airplane and receive nothing in return but the joy of sharing something I love with my child it is definitely not "for hire". |

You can get paid all you want instructing, and don't even have to have
a medical unless you are acting as PIC, then only a 3rd class. You not acting as a commercial pilot instructing, even though the regs say you need it for the exam. |
