I don’t think you need an ATP or a CFI to be the recommending instructor. Just a PIC type.
thanks for the info! I’m getting conflicting advice from a dpe Im friends with. He said the endorser must be an atp or cfi, AND the ‘chief pilot’ or flight ops director or something. But I don’t see anywhere that it says that.
how did you guys log your ground instruction?
