You are so wrong.
You do not fly, have never had any flight training, and anything that
comes from you should not be taken seriously.


NO Ricky....YOU are so wrong...It will probably come as quite shock to
you to find that the FAA will issue a Basic Ground Instructor
Certificate, an Advanced Ground Instructor Certificate, and an
Instrument Instructor Certificate to individuals who have never set foot
in an aircraft. Being a pilot is not a requirement to teach aviation
subjects to prospective pilots.
