ANYBODY can give flight instruction!
Just come around my airport on a Saturday Morning and you'll get about as much flight instruction as you can STAND! Rich You can't instruct students with a commercial certificate. That's why we have flight instructor certificates. A flight instructor certificate is required whenever the FAR calls for 'authorized instructor'. Examples are endorsing a student for solo flight, giving checkride endorsement, flight reviews etc.. My understanding is that any commercial pilot can give flight instruction and charge for his services as long as he does sign students off. |

My understanding is that any commercial pilot can give flight instruction and charge for his services as long as he does sign students off. Nobody said anything about charging, so really a commercial isn't even an issue here. Further, the FAA doesn't hold that flight instruction is even a commercial piloting operation (an instructor doesn't need a medical if not needed as a pilot crewmember otherwise), etc... You can't log flight instruction other than by an authorized instructor. (61.51(b)(2)(v)). While technically anybody can "teach" someone (no need for an instructor certificate), it doesn't count as instruction time (for certificates, ratings, BFRs, and other experience requirements). |
