Final Approach
I'm at the point in my CFI training where I'm signed off for the right seat to do solo practice teaching, or to take someone along for some practice teaching.
A group is having a trip up to the Hudson, and I have a pilot who wants to share costs with me in the Arrow and have me teach him the complex airplane stuff.
I'm an AGI/IGI already so I can give him the ground instruction for the complex endorsement. I can certainly teach him the stuff in the airplane though he would not be able to log it as flight instruction received, nor could I log it as flight instruction given because I haven't gotten the CFI yet. He can log PIC and the complex time for all the time he's flying even though I'm acting as PIC.
So far I don't see anything wrong with doing this. Now to the "interesting" part.
AFTER I get my CFI, I go up with this guy again for about an hour in the Arrow, we go through the drills again, and (assuming he is proficient) I give him the endorsement. At that time he logs the dual and PIC, I log the instruction given and PIC, and we're done.
Is ther a problem with this? The only difference I can see is that this pilot will have less flight instruction time than the typical complex transition.
