Situations vary between schools and insurance carriers, but the ones I am
familiar with require that airplanes covered by the FBO policy be flown by
instructors employed by the FBO. Airline pilot and experience don't count
as much as being an employee. But maybe your situation is different.

I posted a message awhile back about one of my relatives offering me
free flight instruction. He's a very experienced airline pilot and
has done a lot of CFI work in the past. He's still current on his CFI
rating, and the plan is to begin training in June (when I have more
money and he has more time).

Do you think there will be any problem with one of the local FBOs
renting us a plane for my training? Obviously they'll want to check
him out and see his history, but beyond that is there anything I need
to know? Obviously we should just make a couple of calls and see what
their policy is, but I just wanted to know if this was a common
situation or not first. TIA!
