Instructing in other makes and models

[IFLY]

The only requirement I can find seems to be 15 hours in cat & class. Am I missing something? Does the FAA say since I can instruct in an R-22 then I can instruct in a 300c also?

 

I know the insurance companies require some time in make and model but I don't know how much.

I believe it is 5 hrs in make and model to instruct per FAA regs. 15hrs in make and model to take your CFI checkride in that model. Insurance companies are a different story.

adam32 is correct. if you look at FAR 61.195 (f) it states;

 

(f) Training received in a multiengine airplane, a helicopter, or a powered-lift. A flight instructor may not give training required for the issuance of a certificate or rating in a multiengine airplane, a helicopter, or a powered-lift unless that flight instructor has at least 5 flight hours of pilot-in-command time in the specific make and model of multiengine airplane, helicopter, or powered-lift, as appropriate.

 

Hope this helps;

AFIRM.. I did it. started in enstrom F-28a's, did all ratings, started teaching at a school with 280c's, then moved to another school that a 280fx, and a couple 300's, now we have a r-44 as well. keep on plugging away and you'll be able to teach in anything! (thats my goal)

ya the 5hrs this is cool. I had 153 HRS when I started teaching in a 300C. and less than 15hrs in type. so for the robbie guys the 200hrs before u can work is not true just go to enstrom or 300s

no reson to pay for 200hrs
