CFI required??

Thanks for the info. Yes, some of these guys will be working toward a type rating. Much on the instruction would however be formation instruction, which I'm sure falls into that "Not Required" category. These boards are full of wonderful people with a wealth of experience!

I agree with the above. You will need the CFI and possibly the type. Like I said, you may want to call the FSDO.

(h) Additional aircraft type-specific training. No person may serve as pilot in command of an aircraft that the Administrator has determined requires aircraft type-specific training unless that person has—
(1) Received and logged type-specific training in the aircraft, or in a flight simulator or flight training device that is representative of that type of aircraft; and
(2) Received a logbook endorsement from an authorized instructor who has found the person proficient in the operation of the aircraft and its systems.
