Thanks. I’m trying to look a couple years down the road based on current circumstances.

I think I've got it now. I've never looked into it this deeply before.

Thanks. I do remember the SP thing, and that's been fixed. But 61.23(b) Operations not requiring a medical certificate. A person is not required to hold a medical certificate— ... (7) When exercising the privileges of a flight instructor certificate if the person is not acting as pilot in...

Thanks - Q24 seems to nail it.

Oh, I’m pretty sure.
