I will be getting my initial type rating, and currently have a CSEL and CMEL with CFIA/CFII. After the initial "25 hour mentor" period has elapsed, what else is required for me to begin giving instruction in that A/C that I was typed in? I have been reading the regs and not seeing anything helpful.

Who gives a type rating?

You'll need a category and class rating on your CFI certificate to go along with the category and class on the type rating.
If it's a multi-engine airplane, you'll need a multi-engine rating on your CFI certificate. Other than that, you're good to go legally.
Insurance? Might be different.

After posting reread what I believe you referred to.
§ 61.195 Flight instructor limitations and qualifications.
A person who holds a flight instructor certificate is subject to the following limitations:
(b) Aircraft ratings. A flight instructor may not conduct flight training in any aircraft for which the flight instructor does not hold:
(1) A pilot certificate and flight instructor certificate with the applicable category and class rating; and
(2) If appropriate, a type rating.
But I read farther and notice paragraph (e) of the the same 61.195
and it reads
(e) Training in an aircraft that requires a type rating. A flight instructor may not give flight training in an aircraft that requires the pilot in command to hold a type rating unless the flight instructor holds a type rating for that aircraft on his or her pilot certificate.
Im trying to read it as written with minimal gray thinking, but it seems paragraph (e) says a CFI needs to be typed in the A/C he wished to type someone in. I am thinking that typing maybe different then traditional certificates, and hopefully I can avoid getting my MEI for the time being.

Gotta have the MEI.§ 61.195 Flight instructor limitations and qualifications.

Type ratings are placed on pilot certificates, so you don't have to have a "CFI Type" or anything like that. It doesn't exist.

:yeahthat: Definitely call up the insurance company to make sure you meet their requirements, they are often more stringent than FAA requirements in my experience. I haven't had to do this with type ratings but when talking about various aerobatic and tailwheel aircraft the insurance was always far more stringent than the FAA with requirements.
I was shocked to find out I could "instruct" the new FO straight out of the sim. Of course, I had a bit of experience in the plane, but still...surprised the crap out of me.:yeahthat: Definitely call up the insurance company to make sure you meet their requirements, they are often more stringent than FAA requirements in my experience.

.....yet I wasn't insurable in the Travelair to do initial multi-engine rating instruction. :rotfl:
