never mind.. just found the answer... it is too good to be true!from faa.gov_________________I would like to become a light-sport aircraft instructor and I do not hold a flightinstructor certificate issued under 14 CFR part 61. How would this proposalaffect me? (SFAR section 155)You would have to obtain a flight instructor certificate with a sport pilot rating.To get it, you would have to- a.. Be at least 18 years old; b.. Have a sport pilot certificate or at least a private pilot certificate; c.. Receive and log ground training in the fundamentals of instruction(SFAR section113); d.. Receive and log ground and flight training in specific aeronautical areas(SFAR section 115); e.. Meet aeronautical experience requirements (SFAR section 117); and f.. Pass the FAA knowledge tests and practical test with a FAA designated pilotexaminer (SFAR section 119).The FAA would issue you a flight instructor certificate with a sport pilot ratingand your logbook would be endorsed authorizing you privileges to provide trainingin that specific category, class, and make and model of aircraft.________________ ----- Original Message -----
