The only caveat is that since it is unusual in some locations, some DPE's may not want to do it.
Not true. A non-CFI-airplane CFII could in give instrument instruction to a non-rated student. The CFII would just need to act as PIC of the flight.
Legally he could also give instruction in stalls or other primary maneuvers to a student pilot...the catch is that it is not logable towards aeronautical experience requirements so why bother doing it? Also probably not the safest thing to do if you are not trained adequately.
In fact a private pilot can give instruction, it just doesn't count for aeronautical experience...that's how I learned to fly a taildragger from an old guy who really knew what he was doing. Obviously you have to go to a rated CFI to get any required dual and endorsements but nothing says you can't learn from and practice with any pilot.

Just took the test after studying with Sheppard Air software (missed one question...darn, there goes that DG).
Will turn in paperwork to FAA later this week and be a CFII !!
I'm gonna help a F-4 WSO buddy of mine get his PPL. Anyone got a favorite for good pre-fab courseware/lesson plans? The Sporty's stuff looked decent, but still open to suggestions.
BTW: Join AOPA and save $10 on the CATS testing fee.
Should get CFI Airplane Category and Class also for any airplanes you instructed in. Make sure u get all u are entitled to. Also, can u go to the FSDO and get it for free? What FSDO does that.
