Hi,

John Lynch's latest FAQ (#19) says:

Question: The situation is a flight instructor has asked the question
whether he can give a flight review in a tailwheel airplane and yet he has
not previously met the additional training requirements for operating a
tailwheel airplane [i.e., § 61.31(i)].

Answer: Ref. § 61.1(b)(2); § 61.56(c)(1); No, a flight instructor cannot
give a flight review in a tailwheel airplane unless he has complied with §
61.31(i). Per § 61.56(c)(1), it states, in pertinent part, ". . . by an
authorized instructor . . . ." Per § 61.1(b)(2)(ii), it states, in
pertinent part, ". . . in accordance with the privileges and limitations of
his or her flight instructor certificate . . . ." The flight instructor
would not be considered an "authorized instructor" for giving a flight
review in a tailwheel airplane.


Seems like Lynch is making things up again. Flight instructor certificates
do not have any tail dragger limitations. The certificate only has category
and class ratings. The only limitations are that the instructors pilot certificate
have the approprate category, class and type rating. There is no make/model
requirement for single engine.
