flyingseapig Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 I heard through the grapevine that the FAA was going to approve and waive certain requirements for Military Instructor pilots to gain the equivalent of a FAA CFI/CFII rating. Does anyone know if this has been implemented yet and have any further info or guidance on this policy? Anyone know what the testing (oral, written, practical) requirements are or will be? Do they also have to be a military instructor pilot at a training command or can they hold a NATOPS instructor or assistant instructor rating and military instrument check pilot rating? If anyone has any info on this or has gone through this and knows what kind of documentation is required if you could please pass it on it would be greatly appreciated. Please reply to this post or feel free to PM me. Thanks and fly safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it was told to me by the FSDO in the area, You must have completed instructor pilot training and been an instructor pilot. You don't have to have done it at the school house, being an unit instrutor pilot will be fine. You will need to take a written CFI test and you will then get the FAA designation. It does not sound like you will be able to get CFII that way though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e145 Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 It's surprising that you don't need to be at the Training Command. Squadron instructors teach pilots who already know how to fly. That's a big change from taking somebody has little or no flight training and teaching them to fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
