Can a CFII give inst. training in a multi?

[Pilot Doc]

From John Lynch (FAA big cheese) per an email to me dated 10/5/2004:

3. The person must have logged at least 5 hours PIC flight time in a Cessna 310."

61.195(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.

I have previously assumed that an IPC doesn't fall under "required for the issuance of a certificate or rating." Did your source explain this?

I was so happy to get the investigation over with that I did not question either Fed on the interpretation. If you want to followup with Mr. Lynch, go for it.
