A key point for BoDEAN is that a CFI is not an "authorized instructor"
and hence could not give an IPC when it was suggested to him Then move up to giving instruction in IMC to someone who is already a proficient instrument pilot, and just needs an aircraft checkout or IPC" Regarding an IGI giving an IPC, I've posted the latest text from Lynch below. It's certainly convoluted. It sounds like he previously said an IGI "can conduct the IPC," (which is what I recalled) but now is saying they can "perform the training for an IPC," but not the check itself, since IGI's aren't listed in 61.215(c)(2) Max T, MCFI QUESTION: Can an personal computer aviation training device (PCATD) be used for the instrument proficiency check? ANSWER: Ref. § 61.57(d)(1): No. {Q&A-94} QUESTION: In § 61.57 of the "Frequently Asked Questions of parts 61& 141" the question is asked whether an IGI can conduct the proficiency check required in an approved ground training device. The answer given is yes. However, I have a letter from AFS 840 signed by Michael Sacrey stating that "Only a certificated instrument flight instructor may conduct the instrument competency check, regardless of whether given in a ground training device, an aircraft simulator, or in an aircraft." Which interpretation is the correct one? ANSWER: Ref. § 61.215(c)(2). Yes, an IGI can perform training in a flight simulator or flight training device ". . . for an instrument proficiency check." It has been brought to my attention that my earlier answer on Question 2 may have confused training vs. checking. Only those persons identified in § 61.57(d)(2) can GIVE the instrument proficiency check. {Q&A-104} Bill Zaleski wrote in message ... An IGI cannot give an IPC, only the training for one. He cannot sign one off. (FAR 61.215, training and endorsements vs. 61.193 (g), training only) An IGI can only give the endorsement for an instrument knowlege test and none other. He can give the training, however for an IPC. |

"Roy Smith" wrote in message ... BoDEAN wrote: Another thing I've discovered about instructing (especially in busy airspace like around New York), is that a fair part of your job is being able to anticipate what ATC will let you do and what they won't. Some of my biggest failures have been flights where I came up with a lesson plan only to discover that ATC denied us the clearances required to execute the plan. Ditto here... I fly on the other side of NY from Roy and spend a lot of time with my students teaching how much difference there is between the book world and the real world... It's like chess... Always be thinking ahead... As one of my buddies always asks his instrument students... What are the two most important things in instrument flying??? (you'd really be suprised at the variety of things you get back)... The next 2 things... John Price CFII/AGI/IGI http://home.att.net/~jm.price |
