Final Approach
With the recent FAR 61 rewrite, it's clear that instrument ground training will require the IGI.
My question is about the ability of an AGI/IGI to give simulator instruction.
I believe, though it's not perfectly clear to me, that an AGI/IGI (someone who holds both ratings on his ground instructor certificate) can give fully loggable instruction in a PCATD/AATD/FTD/Sim, and the limits on that time as it applies to certificates and ratings are spelled out elsewhere in 61 - 20 hours of the instrument rating, 50 of the commercial, 2.5 for the private.
I believe an IGI can give an IPC in an AATD or Flight Sim (that is approved for that - the lower levels without the full visuals don't permit the circling approach).
My intent while working on the CFI-A is to teach in the Redbird AATD, and teach instrument students, give IPC's, as well a set of scenarios for rated pilots on risk management, task saturation, fuel exhaustion, VFR into IMC, G1000 failures, etc, that will also serve as an IPC for instrument rated pilots.
Am I off base? Do I have to have the CFI credentials to teach in these devices?
