The first part you bolded is the only real change. Currently there is no ACTP training so no standard for instructors.
The second part is there because there is no requirement for the instructor to hold a FAA Instructor certificate. There's similar verbage in 142.
While 142 does not require the instructor to hold a type rating for the type he's instructing in, you're not going to find many 142s using unrated instructors. At least in the SW region the FAA frowns on that.
How do you think this will impact training centers like FSI where many attendees com for an initial ATP and type? In addition, do flight schools like Allatps have to hire ATP Instructors with 2 years airline experience?
