I'm surprised you never came across it before. This is a question that comes up from time to time and the common wisdom has been that a CFI with only an "instrument airplane" rating, but no "airplane" rating is permitted to provide instrument training in an airplane, so long as he doesn't cross the line into teaching how to fly the airplane itself. Even John Lynch's Part 61 FAQ has taken this view, saying such things as a CFII with no MEI =can't= give training in one-engine failure during takeoff but =can= give instruction in single-engine operations under instrument conditions. Those FAQ paragraphs are going to become defunct. As a result of an inquiry by Ron Levy, an instructor at the University of Maryland and a regular contributor to Aviation Safety Magazine, the Eastern Region FAA legal counsel has started the process of putting that one to rest. There are still some things a CFII with no aircraft rating can do. Ground instruction and flight training in a simulator are two of them. As to why, it's pretty hokey, but there's some theory going around that the CFI-I is easier, so, if you have to have an inspector for the first ride, it might as well be the easier one. |
