Does a safety pilot have to be Instrument Rated in order to be Safety
Pilot while the PIC is under the hood?

By your logic, that would seem to be the case. But we both know it not to
be the case. Why would a CFI be required to have an instrument rating to
teach Simulated IFR?

Private Pilot requires 3 hours of instruent flight instruction.

Doesn't CFI have to have and instrument rating to teach instrument
flight?

I was always on the top end of the order (CFII) and never took much
notice of the bottom feeders.G

This is a serios query not a straight man feed line for the local
comics.

To obtain a flight instuctor certificate is it mandtory you have a
commercial certificate with instument privlages even if you will only
be a CFI teaching VFR only? or does the FAA require it regardless the
wording in part 61.183 was alittle unclear to me. Anyone who can
clarify please do thanks so much!
