Jump seats for FSI instructors?

[CAPTAIN&10eels]

I used to work for an airline that permitted FlightSafety International instructors to fly on our jump seats. Do any airlines still make the jump seat available to FSI instructors?

Never heard of this. l.

Jumpseats are generally made available by a client to FSI instructors who are teaching under a Part 121 training program so they can function as non-line qualified simulator instructors and fulfill their yearly line observation requirement. At the carrier I am most familiar with it being used, it required specific name by name FAA approval as well as an open seat in the back of the airplane.

If you are not in cass I would still let you ride, but couldn't sit up in the cockpit though.

This was back in 2008 when I worked for PSA but we had an FSI instructor jumpseat with us.

They each did 4 "observation" flights so they got a sense of the operation they were teaching for. One of them (maybe more) hung on to his letter of authorization and used it a few more times afterwards... That didn't go over very well.
