I'm currently flying part 135 in the midwest, and have lots of free time. A few people keep telling me I should do some flight instructing on the side but I don't have an FAA instructor certificate. I have around 3500tt, a good chunk of multi, turbine, IFR, etc. and an FAA ATP.
I used to be a flight instructor in Canada with about 1300hrs past instructional experience there.
What would I require as the minimum from the FAA, to legally be able to instruct single-engine VFR aeroplanes?
I see from some flight school websites that the requirements for a CFI are:
FAA requirements for a Flight Instructor Certificate:
Or would I be required to complete a certain amount of actual training on the ground or in the air?
Thanks for any advice!
