So, the CP at a 141 school is outside the general rule of instructors not requiring a medical? And also different from a DPE since a DPE is by rule not PIC. Do you have any 141 references for that? I'd be interested in the 121 reference also.
141 Instructor annual checks are a regulatory requirement...since you cannot conduct a 141 annual check without the chief pilot (or Asst CP/ check instructor), that person is obviously a required crewmember for the mission at hand. Same with 121.
