[edit] Can an AGI give instrument instruction?

The article says that an AGI can give instruction for "any rating in part 61" but I believe based on my experience (I hold AGI and IGI) that an AGI can not give ground instruction for the instrument rating. AGI is just a more highly qualified BGI. Is this correct? —SaxTeacher (talk) 12:18, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Nope. The way the FARs are written, they specifically state that an AGI can give instruction towards ANY certificate or rating, which would include instrument. In the 'old' says, getting a BGI and IGI would get an AGI...but now they are separate ratings. But an AGI can definitely give instruction towards an instrument ticket. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.215.178.162 (talk) 00:33, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

According to "14 CFR 61.215 Ground instructor privileges". A Ground Instructor with an 'Advanced' rating is authorized as follows:

" (b) A person who holds an advanced ground instructor rating is authorized to provide:

   (1) Ground training in the aeronautical knowledge areas required for the issuance of any certificate or rating under this part;
   (2) Ground training required for any flight review; and
   (3) A recommendation for a knowledge test required for the issuance of any certificate under this part."

So 14 CFR 61.215.b.1 specifically allows an AGI to provide ground instruction for an instrument rating, since an instrument rating is definitionally a 'rating under this part' —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.65.192.1 (talk) 14:46, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
