snip Let me put it this way. You can be technically right. Montblank can be technically right. But I will avoid both of you in any post I make on Usenet because you are playing games with my name under a pedantic litany of technicality that involves something I believe the average reader would miss when reading something attributed to me that I did not say. It's THAT simple! In my opinion, if indents are to be used to separate two individuals in a quoted text involving both individuals, BOTH people should be named in the "said" heading; not one. This being done, the indents then serve their useful purpose as a separator. Naming only one individual, then using a double indent that can easily be missed is both misleading and disingenuous. Hmm. First things first. S.P.M. posted a lengthy explanation (for him) and you shot back with a two word answer - that for me was worth a chuckle. WRT the above passage snip: I think there is style and then there's general use (SOP). I'm sorry Dudley ole'buddy, but I think you're not right in this case. I responded to you. You were responding to someone else. No need to include all previous information from the thread, just enough to move it along. S.P.M's name wasn't needed for that end - plain and simple. ....means two posts ago. ......means your post. I think you're grabbing at being wronged here. You've got the 'No One Treats DH That Way" machinery in place and by gum you're bound and determined to pull me into it. This is how I trim my post. This is how I've been trimming my posts. However...In the future, I will take special care to attribute other people's quotes when your name is involved. Now a postscript, as it were. At first glance I didn't think you had a horse in this race because you seldom trim your posts. Then I realized that, in a pedantic technicality kind of way, your bases are covered. g Montblack |

As a PPSEL employed at one time as a systems engineer, I could draw my salary while flying to a meeting I had to attend. My employer could even pay the entire cost of the flight. The CFI is doing exactly the same thing. George Patterson I prefer Heaven for climate but Hell for company. |

That right. An in fact, if the pilot is already rated and qualified as
PIC (perhaps getting a BFR) then the CFI doesn't need *any* medical at all. -Robert |

Thank you George.
I'll probably regret it, but here's John Lynch's opinion includeing the questions clarification in the Part 61 Pramble. QUESTION: Does a CFI even need a medical certificate to give flight training? ANSWER: Ref. § 61.23; Depends on the situation. The medical requirements for a CFI are found in § 61.23. Reference § 61.3(c)(2)(iv) and § 61.23(b)(5); No, when exercising the privileges of a flight instructor certificate if the person is NOT acting as pilot in command or serving as a required pilot flight crewmember. Reference § 61.3(c)(1) and § 61.23(a)(3)(iv) Yes, at least a current 3rd class medical certificate when giving instruction to a student pilot (instructor must be PIC), to anyone while that person is using a view limiting device (instructor is the safety pilot), or to a pilot that is not rated in the aircraft (e.g., while preparing a pilot for multiengine, sea-plane, type rating, etc., the instructor must be the PIC). QUESTION: Do the rules permit a flight instructor to even receive compensation for instruction when that flight instructor holds only a third class medical, or maybe does not even hold a current medical certificate at all? ANSWER: § 61.23(b)(5); Yes, in accordance with § 61.23(b)(5), a flight instructor who does not hold a medical certificate may give flight and ground training and be compensated for it. In the preamble of the parts 61 and 141 final rule that was published in the Federal Register on April 4, 1997 (62 FR 16220-16367) when the FAA revised the entire Part 61, the FAA stated the following in the Federal Register on page 16242 in response to whether a medical certificate is required for a flight instructor to give ground and flight training: " With respect to the holding of medical certificates by a flight instructor, the FAA has determined that the compensation a certificated flight instructor receives for flight instruction is not compensation for piloting the aircraft, but rather is compensation for the instruction. A certificated flight instructor who is acting as pilot in command or as a required flight crewmember and is receiving compensation for his or her flight instruction is only exercising the privileges of a private pilot. A certificated flight instructor who is acting as pilot in command or as a required flight crewmember and receiving compensation for his or her flight instruction is not carrying passengers or property for compensation or hire, nor is he or she, for compensation or hire, acting as pilot in command of an aircraft. . . . In this same regard, the FAA has determined that a certificated flight instructor on board an aircraft for the purpose of providing flight instruction, who does not act as pilot in command or function as a required flight crewmember, is not performing or exercising pilot privileges that would require him or her to possess a valid medical certificate under the FARs." QUESTION: Isn't it true that if a flight instructor is required to act as PIC and is compensated, that a 2nd class medical would be required? If the argument is that the flight instructor is not being compensated as a pilot, but as an instructor why must they act as PIC? There is no allowance for a pilot receiving compensation for pilot services to not have at least a current 2nd class medical. The regulation does not talk about instructors receiving compensation, so the 2nd class medical requirement must apply them, also. ANSWER: An instructor is not necessarily required to act as PIC to give instruction, but is allowed to log instruction time as PIC per § 61.51(e)(3). The only situations in which an instructor is required to ACT as PIC are during training of a student pilot or giving instrument instruction to a non-instrument rated person while operating under instrument flight rules (on an activated instrument flight plan) regardless of whether it is instrument meteorological or visual meteorological conditions (IMC or VMC). An instructor is not required to act as PIC while giving simulated instrument instruction to a person using a view limiting device, but the instructor may be acting as safety pilot during this instruction. In accordance with § 61.23(3)(iv) the instructor must hold a valid third class medical to act as PIC or to be the safety pilot. This is because of required crewmember status, not due to instruction duties. Note that no medical is required per § 61.23(b)(5) when exercising the privileges of a flight instructor certificate if the person is not acting as PIC or serving as a required pilot flight crewmember. True, the regulation is silent to the issue of compensation for instruction. The government does not set rates or prevent free instruction. But, as you say, a pilot receiving compensation for pilot services (Commercial or above) does have to possess at least a current 2nd class medical. But, note the emphasis on "pilot services." Instruction is not a pilot service QUESTION: If a second class medical is not necessary for an instructor to receive compensation, then it appears that a private pilot can be a flight instructor, right? For Example a pilot could surrender their commercial for a private and be a compensated flight instructor working a Part 61 or 141 school. It is possible. Do you have any guidance that I can reference that allows flight instructors to act without a commercial certificate? ANSWER: Ref. § 61.183(c); No. That is not possible. To be eligible for a flight instructor certificate or rating, § 61.183(c) requires a person to hold a commercial pilot certificate or airline transport pilot certificate with the appropriate category and class rating. Surrender of the commercial or ATP certificate to only hold a private certificate would effectively include the surrender of the instructor certification. There is no provision for a person to obtain or hold a flight instructor certificate without a commercial or ATP certificate. But "holding" a commercial or ATP certificate does not demand a valid medical. Only the performance of given privileges require a specific class medical per § 61.23(a) (1), (2), or (3). QUESTION: Is it permissible to act as CFI with only a 3rd class Medical if there is no compensation? ... Is it permissible to act as CFII in IMC with only a 3rd class Medical if there is no compensation? ANSWER: Ref. § 61.193 for flight instructor privileges; and § 61.195 for limitations; Yes, to both questions, provided for the flight in IMC you're current to act as pilot-in-command as required by § 61.57. In fact, you can receive compensation. Your commercial certificate and instrument rating provide the flight privileges as a crewmember (PIC while operating on the IFR flight plan) as well as eligibility to obtain and continue to hold the instructor certificate, but the third class medical is adequate for the flight. |

Is this the same FAA that deemed "free" flight time to be compensation itself if it's used to gain another certificate? ANSWER: An instructor is not necessarily required to act as PIC to give instruction, but is allowed to log instruction time as PIC per § 61.51(e)(3). The only situations in which an instructor is required to ACT as PIC are during training of a student pilot or giving instrument instruction to a non-instrument rated person while operating under instrument flight rules (on an activated instrument flight plan) regardless of whether it is instrument meteorological or visual meteorological conditions (IMC or VMC). How can an instructor log flight time if he isn't flying? |
