Pre-takeoff checklist
Flyers and fellow CFI's:
I am a CFI and training for the CFII.
I have a student I am training for his instrument rating and was questioned as to how I can train an instrument student without being a CFII. Although I do not have Instrument Airplane on my instructor's certificate, I interpret the reg's to state that of the 40 hours of instrument time required for the practical test, only 15 need be with an "Authorized Instructor". Also, it appears that the cross country requirements must also be flown and logged by an authorized instructor. Lastly, obviously the FAR's state that an "authorized instructor" must be the one to endorse the student's logbook for the ground or home study review, knowledge test and practical test. Therefore, it appears I can train this student under simulated instrument conditions and log the instrument time toward his 40 required hours for his instrument rating. I assume that as long as the last 15 hours are done after I become an "authorized instructor" I can endorse him for the knowledge test, practical test and cross country training and flights?
