I had a discussion with a CFI (not CFII) today. He indicated that

it

would be legal for him to give me an Instrument Competency Check. I
was under the impression that it required a CFII.

I'm looking at 61.57 and it says
(2)The instrument proficiency check
mist be given by -
(iv) an authorized instructor


Very carefully read the first paragraph of 61.193.

A person who holds a flight instructor certificate is authorized within
the limitations of that person's flight instructor certificate and
ratings to give training and endorsements...

If one assumes that he can do it because the "and ratings" bit, it would
also follow that he can provide instrument instruction, which he can't.
So the answer would have to be No, a CFI can't give an ICC.

61.195(c) says: "A flight instructor who provides instrument flight
training for the issueance fo an instrument rating...must hold an
instrument rating..."

Doesn't say anything regarding the proficiency check, but, that's a hell
of a small loophole to try to fly through and a questionable CFI decision.

Also see 61.57(d)
