Instrument instruction

Post by MCFLY972 »

Help....

Does anyone know if an ATP pilot (without an instructors rating) can teach Instrument flying in an airplane?

Thanks in advance

Maybe. Check CAR 405 Division III

However, anyone offering to instruct towards an instrument rating should already know that. Sets off alarm bells otherwise. While I encourage private owners to seek out instructors with relevant (to them) experience IFR, experience instructing is also important. I've seen a couple guys really wasting their time and money learning from ATPs who had no business instructing - not because they didn't know IFR, but because they didn't know how to teach or what to teach.

Alarm bells?? this is a question on the ATPL exams but whether or not I would remember the specifics depends on how long ago I wrote the exam :lol:

BTW...I think the reference is CARS 425.21

Instrument or Multi-Engine instruction flight training requires a flight instructor rating OR

Commerical or APTL, instrument rating, 500 PIC, 100 PIC in group (10 PIC on Type if giving Multi-Engine Instruction).

One caveat from a discussion with a Transport Canada Inspector. The time is logged as dual by the "student" but this will NOT count towards the dual requirements for a Commercial license and should be tracked separately from dual received from an instructor.
