TIPS FROM PIC
ATP
privileges for
instruction
BY PATRICK TIMMERMAN
A QUE S T I ON T HE AOPA Pilot
Information Center often gets is,
can the holder of an airline transport
pilot (ATP) certificate without a flight
instructor rating give instruction, and
what kind of instruction can they give?
FAR 61.167(2) " airline transport pilot
privileges and limitations " says:
(2) A person who holds an airline
transport pilot certificate and has met
the aeronautical experience requirements
of § 61.159 or § 61.161, and the age
requirements of § 61.153(a)(1) of this
part may instruct (i) Other pilots in air
transportation service in aircraft of the
category, class, and type, as applicable,
for which the airline transport pilot is
rated and endorse the logbook or other
training record of the person to whom
training has been given.
However, nowhere in the federal
aviation regulations is " air transportation
service " defined.
The FAA Office of the Chief
Counsel noted it is important to consider
the language of 61.3(d)(3) in
determining an answer. FAR 61.3(d)
(3) states that a flight instructor certificate
is not necessary " if the training
is given by the holder of an airline
transport pilot certificate with a rating
appropriate to the aircraft in which
the training is given, provided the
training is given in accordance with
the privileges of the certificate " -
and here is the important point- " and
conducted in accordance with an
approved air carrier training program
approved under Part 121 or Part 135
of this chapter. " So, no approved program,
no instruction privileges.
