flyboy168 said:Hi,
My student was wondering if he has to fly the instrument long x-c trip (250nm trip) with a CFI-I rather than a CFI. In looking at FAR 61-65(d)(iii), there are no mention of specific CFII requirement except for the word "instrument training".
Thanks in advance for the clarification.

Fly_Chick said:Not sure about that. Both
61.65 (d)(2)(i) (fifteen hours of instrument flight training)
and 61.65 (d)(2)(ii) (three hours in the past 60 days of prep)
state "from an authorized instructor" in this case 'authorized instructor' meaning CFI-I.
61.65(d)(2)(iii) does not mention "authorized instructor".
For an instrument-airplane rating, instrument training on cross-country flight procedures specific to airplanes that includes at least one...blah blah blah
A flight instructor who provides instrument flight training for the issuance of an instrument rating or a type rating not limited to VFR must hold an instrument rating on his or her flight instructor certficate and pilot certificate...blah blah blah.
Good call.flyboy168 said:Folks, thanks for the help. I have asked him to fly with a CFII to be on the safe side.

Good idea. Complying with what the rules require for the qualifying flight is usually the safe side.flyboy168 said:Folks, thanks for the help. I have asked him to fly with a CFII to be on the safe side.
